Good Morning Folks

As this is my first post hopefully have placed in right forum. If not please feel free to move to correct one.


Recently replaced the motherboard on my desktop with a ASUS P6X58D Premium.
My system setup is as follows:

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x 64
Intel core i7 930

Motherboard works fine except it will not recognize more then 4GB memory.
I installed 2 x 4GB (matched pair) of Integral DDR3 / PC3 / 10600 / 1333MHz / 9-9-9-24 / 1.5v in Dimm's A1 + B1 as instucted by the user manual.
BIOS only shows 4GB.
Window 7 resource manager only shows 4GB.
However both CPUiD-Z and RaMMon show 8GB (which leads me to believe there is nothing physically wrong with motherboard).
I have the BIOS setup to default.
Do I need to change some of the BIOS settings for in to see 8GB?

I have re-sit the memory plus switched them around but problem still persists.

I know this particular motherboard supports triple channel memory.

Any help solving this problem greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts !:confused:
 
Do you have the latest BIOS? Mine used to not always detect 6gb it only reported 4gb but since I updated BIOS it has better memory checking and detects it all properly every time now.
 
Have you tested both slots one at a time with just one stick one at a time? You need to find the faulty slot or ram stick

Bent CPU socket pins cause this issue as does too tight a CPU heatsink/cooler
