need help. not showing my ram.

hi everyone.
Can somebody help me how to show all ram that is running? Like when I open the task manager it shows only 8 gb ram also in properties too.

The os that I'm running is windows 7 64 bit,
Asus rampage II gene ( can go up to 12 gb ram)
intel i7 920
6x - Corsair XMS3 TW3X4G1333C9DHX 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel memory kit
gts 250 1 gb
2x Western Digital WD1001FALS Caviar Black 1TB
and another 320 gb hard drive

So if anybody can help me solve the problem I'm very thankful for it.

Type msconfig in run or search - in the window - boot - advanced options - make sure "maximum memory" is deselected. If this sounds a bit weird - check bios first as below, and maybe select it if that doent fix it - i read this solution a while back, and Im not sure which way, but it is deselected in my OS.

If it is already deselected go into your bios - this is where it is in my Asus P5E bios as follows.
There is a setting in the bios - that should be set to enabled with a 64 bit OS - under chipset advanced - northbridge configuration - memory remap feature - enable this - worth checking.

am i reading correctly that you have 24gb of ram in a motherboard that only supports 12gb?

I'm not really sure, because there are certain websites thats says it supports 12 gb ram or even 24 gb or ram. So right now I have 12 gb ram on my motherboard but it only appears 8 gb ram

Thanks for the tip. It help me well. Now it shows all the ram capacity.
I feel happy now.

Other than the standard 32 / 64 bit limits for windows, Windows 7 basic is 8GB limit, Windows 7 Home Prem. ib 16GB limit, you need Windows 7 Pro to Ultimate to Use anything from 16GB to 192GB AND I have the Asus P5E MO also the only way I could get the board to reg. my full 24GB was to use all standard presets and not save anything not even a bios password. The minute you make a saved change the Memory would only register 16GB.

Just Built A new PC:
WIndows 7 64 Bit Ultimate
3.2Ghz i7 - 970
24GB DDR3
HD5670 GDDR5 1Gig
1 TB WD Black Sata 3/6MB HHD
4.5 TB (3) Seatgate Barracuda's

Did it because I could..............

..... Cheers.............

24GB DDR3 Ram, Core i7 970 and only a HD5670??? something is NOT right here..

With the money you used to buy 18GB of RAM, you'd have bought a GTX 580 and still having a kick a** PC!

And probably a SSD, but hey, who am i to judge?
