I recently discovered that my Wins 10 sees that I have 8GB of memory installed, where else I have actually 16GB ( 2x8 )

When into bios, that too only sees 8GB which is strange. Tried using the other two spare slots with no joy! Tried changing the timings too without success :(

I currently have a 2500K on the Gigabyte Z77 - D3H Rev 1.0 MB with two 2x4 GB Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance LP Memory strips

Any ideas?:confused:
 
It should tell you in your BIOS which sticks are being recognised.

You can also try booting with only one stick installed at a time to determine if any aren't working.

Also what you said is a bit confusing, you say you have 2x8GB sticks, two spare slots on a motherboard with four slots, and also two sets of 2x4GB or in other words 4x4GB sticks, all of these things can't be true at the same time. :cool:

Sorry for the confusion

I have two sticks of 8GB which are embedded 2x4GB, both slots ( DDR 1 & 2 ) on my MB with 2 slots ( DDR 3 & 4 ) to spare. Both are recognised in the BIOS but when using one stick, it only recognise as 4GB:confused:
