8 GB RAM installed (3.98) usable

[AddRAM]

So what board is that????

And you need to update your system specs. We're pretty much playing guessing games and are getting bit and pieces of information. Help us help you.

@ Solarstarshines - how'd you come up with the board you came up with

Thanks.

He wrote down it was a 760G if you look at the specs he wrote

Well we need some clear and concise info with screenshots otherwise we're just playing guessing games

@ AddRAM, not sure what your point is, but there is clearly an issue where the system isn't allocating all 8 gig of RAM installed.

I didn`t look at the specs he wrote other then the motherboard, I`m sorry I looked where he specs should`ve been, my bad. Hey how come others can point out his lack of specness but I can`t :huh:

 

[djryano]

would it have to do with anything on voltage as the ram is getting 1.5v

Hey how come others can point out his lack of specness but I can`t :huh:

Where'd that come from But yeah, that should always be pointed out

@ OP, have you checked your Ganged settings?



Also, how many sticks of RAM are you using? Are they the same type? Are they configured correctly (if using two sticks)?...



This info is from your owner's manual downloaded here - GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 4.1) (near the bottom - English 4101).

what specs i have post all my specs on the previous pages

Follow the links a few have posted, I'll do it again. I'm not going to search your thread for specs.
To better help us to help you would you please add your systems specs? Here's the correct way to do it. :SystemInfo See Your System Specs Under System Manufacturer/Model Number add whether it is a desktop or laptop and whether self built. Very important

Log in to Seven Forums and you will be able to transfer the info directly to the specs page in your profile from within the System Info app.

Your System Specs here.

After doing this your specs will be available in each of your posts.
Click on My system Specs in the lower left of this post to see how it should look.
Full instructions are in the tutorial.

This is not filled out.

Now in comparison look at my Sabertooth Z77 and Tommy will probably show the same, but he has 16 GBs.

Only 59 MB hardware reserved and 26 GBs free, for some reason this Asus board is using the memory much better or however you want to phrase it.

Yeah, we all should have pretty much the same if the system is working right. Anything past 512MB (and I'm thinking that's too high) hardware reserved in a 64-bit OS needs to be looked into. I've 32 gig of RAM and my system hardware reserve is at 51MB

I think the best next step would be to get on the hook with Gigabyte and see if they can help you, after all it is their product

[Britton30]

You guys are doing well with an OP who refuses to add system specs.

Knowing the exact RAM would be a plus.

In this instance I actually agree with the earlier post about running memtest. The earlier reason for "disagreeing" was that there was a question about the compatibility of the board; now that that's been resolved, I think memtest should be run to confirm the memory's serviceability.

And yes, having a full set of systems specs would be very helpful... including detailed RAM specifics.

Missing RAM?

Having 3 of this specific motherboard, with 8gb of ram on each, tells me that the OP has a problem with one of the modules. When I set up a machine I use the defaults and the slots as shown in the picture in the above reply. Either pair of slots should work as an added test.
I wonder if the OP actually has Windows 7 64 installed. If not already run - Speccy would be another tool to use. I do agree that Memtest is/should also be run. Finally, GigaByte does have some very good folks that can assist.

BTW: The current Revision is 5.

They actually posted a screenshot showing the installed 64-bit OS - http://www.sevenforums.com/general-...-ram-installed-3-98-usable-3.html#post2717741

Thanks for all the help guys. Like i said i dont know why im getting bashed for not giving specs its all on the first page :L

I think il come back at it with a fresh head tomorrow and come back here and see what else we think of

for all who helped thank you so much

also i really dont like it saying single channel should it not be dual channel?

Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz CL 9 that's what he told us first

Because, I for one, won't go searching through 50 posts hoping an OP mentioned specs. It's not hard to do and it's free.:huh:

I think you might have a iffy board have you ran any Bios Update sometimes that does fix a ram error issue

Sorry didn't bring this up before but after having a good meal for lunch my Brain Power is back

 

[djryano]

Is that not kind of risky? heard a lot of people horror stories updating bios.

No it isn't unless you have a overclock

What Bios are you using now in the screen shot i posted AGESA Code is the Code for the CPU to be recognized by the Ram and MB in your case it looks like that might be the issue here look up what Bios is on and Update it

Sorry to say it should of been updated before that chip got installed but what the heck you have to loose

Might as well go for it

AGESA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

do you think i should go for it(really dont want to damage my machine)

also can you kindly link me that page in the picture thanks

Please understand that people are used to using the system specs link to help solve problems. As you're seeing now, this thread is filling up rather quickly, so going back pages to find system specs can be a bit challenging. And let's not forget there was massive confusion with your initial specs concerning your motherboard. Remember, we all thought you had a 760G?

No one is bashing you, it's just that that's where the system specs needs to be and are looked for when people are trying to figure out what's wrong with a machine they can't see.

Peace
