4GB Memory Unusable
I finally got my new I7 980X CPU today so went to fire up my newly built PC but the POST screen only shows 4GB of memory. Re-seated the chips and still only 4GB. Memtest86+ V4 shows all 4 sticks of 2GB Corsair ram as present but only says 4GB as well.
Installed Windows 7 and it says 8GB installed. 4GB usable. This is the 64bit version so I am expecting to get the whole 8GB.
Anyone know who or what is holding the other 4GB to ransom and what do I have to pay to get it released?
