Asus saber tooth x79.
Says 64 gig max
I did change the ram sticks around and that's when I lost the other 8 gigs. My bios can see 3 of the 4 stick inserted but say total memory is 8192 mb. I installed all the drivers on the mb disc already.

take all the ram out & use ram 4 to test the other 3 slots to see if works or not. if works then try 1 of the other sticks 1 at at time in each slot to see that works or not.

Swapped slot 1 and 4 and now both slots are recognized and say ok.
2 and 3 were still bad. Swapped 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 and now it says 2 is good but 3 is still bad
Maybe I'm just not putting them in hard enough. I pushing hard enough for them to click in so I don't get it Originally posted by ddp:

with this last configuration it appears that slot 3 is bad and the ram in slot 3 is bad.
check by swapping the ram in slot 1 with that in slot 3 - they should both be bad then if i'm correct..

I just swapped 3 and 4 slots. now 1-3 are good and 4 is bad. I guess one of the sticks is for sure bad. Looks like the mobo is good to go though?

Sure is a strange bugger. Mark that ram stick and I would jump it around to make sure since 2 & 3 both showed bad that one time. : )

that is why i said try 1 stick at a time to see if that stick works ok in each slot to see if bad ram, bad motherboard or even both. a board with bad ram might not bootup at all or could be bad slot.

@ddp do you know why only middle aged folks use that method to check ram?

Hi aldan,
I was just going to pull ddp?s chain because I don?t think he realized that jerecho had a new mobo and bios with a mem test tool. With that, one doesn?t have to pull all of the mem sticks and rotate them through all the sockets. It only takes 2 or 3 swaps and 2 or 3 Max boots to determine all of the bad sockets and bad mem sticks. I think maybe that?s why jerecho was ignoring ddp?s suggestion to rotate the sticks one at a time. Lol
It looked like jerecho was doing it properly but maybe having a little trouble getting the ram seated good.
Anyway, young folks don?t do the single rotate method because they don?t have the patience and the old guys have peed on enough fences to have figured out some short cuts. LOL

So that's why you're a little short in the experience department...
Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from a LOT of bad judgement. LOL
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading; The few who learn by observation;
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves... |

try being the last one in a line of people with the first one touching the fence.anyway back to topic.to the op,have you checked if there were any bios updates that address this issue?make sure also that it isnt a case of a bios update for the board to support your cpu.seen that happen before.

I just spoke with Asus support and he said that the RAM wasn't on the qualified vendor list and said it isn't compatible. If it's not compatible then why would any of it work? The part number of the RAM is F3-2400C10D-16GTX
