ugh sorry to drop another one of these threads on here, but none seem to match up with me or fix my problem. So have an i5 750, ga-p55m-ud2 mobo, (2x2gb)g skill ram, win 7 64. For the life of me I cant get win to enable the second half of my ram...I have moved the sticks in every possible config in the four slots but win will only fire up with slots 1&3. In my bios it sees the memory, but the second line only enables slot 1 with 2046MB. Everything is seated and snapped in. no bent pins that I can see. This is really killing my speed. My bios is running F3 which isnt the the newest driver. Do you think flashing it with a newer driver could solve this? I mean this thing is choppy when playing total war games...and in the heat of a french charge I cant have that...I must crush my enemies.

update the bios. try each stick by themselves to see if windows boots correctly.

What do you mean the second line only enables slot 1?

in the bios there are three lines in the memory settings...line 1. What is detected. Line 2 what is enabled. line 3 what is available I believe thats the gist of it in the MIT. it was detecting slot three but I couldnt use it for some reason. So I switched them into slot 1 only one at a time to see if one was bad....and the one that was in slot 3, once put in slot 1 just kept rebooting...
