Last Resort?

The time is drawing near to pull the CPU and very carefully check the socket.

yeah my pdf printer doesnt want to print it for some reason.. just look up the users guide for my mobo (p7p55d-e pro) and go to page 3-34 (i think)

back when i had all 4 sticks (had to RMA 2 of them because one was bad) when i booted to windows (barley, with the bad ram) it recognized all 8gb of ram, and didnt say anything about useable... i never checked the resmon at that time because i had to reinstall because of the bad ram stick.. but maybe i just need to wait to get the other two sticks back and then it will fix itself

I don't know enough about computers to even have a slight clue what all has been talked about in here (skipped a few pages because it's all above my head.) But thought I'd throw out a comment I wish I could quote but can't so please bare with me.. I just got a new pc and the tech mentioned that I needed to be careful because if I loaded a driver that wouldn't work with the 64bit, that it could drop the system down so it wouldn't see/use all 8gb. Something like that. So, too easy a solution but I wondered if some driver is getting loaded (irregularly? sometimes on startup and/or reboot based on what programs you have at startup or on that would reload) and the system catches that driver and knocks you down?

Is this theory of a 32 bit driver being able to do that correct the way I understood it? Apologies if this has already been discussed or isn't even relevant. ..just trying to help and learn.

hi friend is this the board it has bits about the bios Asus LGA1156 P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard Review - HotHardware

 

[brianzion]

what is the bios name and series number we could search for info on that and maybe talk to the bios maker

 

[DirtyElf]

that is the board, the bios are american megatrends (i think.. at work now - going from memory)

there is an updated bios version (1002 to 1302) but all it lists for the fixes is that some ODD were not recognized in bios - i already solved that problem

 

[brianzion]

american megatrends thats mine to but a different one for my machine earlier this year it was updated to the latest and that solved all my blue screen problems.
