RAM stick unrecognized
So I have a bit of an issue.
I ordered a stick on RAM on Newegg, a 4GB stick to two with my other two 2GB sticks. I know most say "That's not a good idea man!" but I couldn't find anothr2GB set of the same RAM.
The new stick has the same manufacture, frequency, and latency timings, low-profile in size, the only difference is it's capacity compared to the other two.
After some issues with my PC not booting up, I put the 4GB stick into a black DIMM instead of the other 3 blue ones I believe might be there for the triple-channel RAM the motherboard supports.
Now, it's booting without issues,but now Windows 7 doesn't recognize the new stick, but Speccy sees the new stick. What's goin' on here?
Update: Went into BIOS and the new stick isn't being detected there neither, I have no idea where to start to find a fix for this.
Update #2: Took out all the RAM and left the 4GB stick in it and it's running Windows fine, so the stick certainly isn't faulty.
