Hello fellow OcUK'ers,

I, in the last week purchased a new rig from Overclockers themselves and was very impressed by the speedy delivery and quality as always.

The image that follows is what I purchased.

Now, the build went great! However there is a few problems...

1\ The BIOS and Windows 7 64Bit only detect 4GB of RAM. When I looked at the memory it looked like it was compatible. When I enable X.M.P in the BIOS it wont start the machine. Do I have a compatibility issue?

2\ The LG monitor I bought turns on for a few seconds then goes off before I can even choose the language in the setup. The picture goes SO dim I can't navigate the menu's. Is this a brightness setting gone wrong or do I have a faulty monitor?

Thanks in advance!
 
Thanks for the fast response. I believe all 3 sticks work solo. I will check again just to be sure. I have put them into the "red" triple channel slots, Im sure this is correct. It baffles me!
 
I've just checked the BIOS and can't find that option. When I set the memory to XMP, the extreme memory profile option appears but is greyed out. It still only detects 4GB =[
 
About the monitor I've just spoken to LG and they say to change my resolution with trial and error and that'll fix it. Memory wise, I'm still stuck for ideas =[
 
I've never updated the BIOS before, does it involve a reinstall? or is it just boot from it and away you go?

File format is .ROM

Sigh the update tool is 32bit only! Well that helps :<
