Can anyone help please?

Have a new 4670k and a Gigabyte Z87x-UD4H (upgraded from a I5 760)

I am having two problems.

1. I just can't get into the bios with the USB keyboard. I have tried many ports and a ps2 adaptor. The only way I can get in is to reset cmos and it ask if I would like to load optimised defaults or enter bios. I can move the mouse over enter bios and get in.

2. The motherboard only sees half the ram. I have tried reseating and different slots, just one stick. It's like it's only seeing half what is on the stick of ram. I have tried 2x8gb Corsair Vengance and 2x4gb Ripjaws.

It's reports half in bios, windows 8 and cpuz.

I've updated the bios to the latest and still can't resolve these two problems.

Any ideas, or do you think I have a faulty board?

I see you are in Portsmouth did you get it from the place near Tesco? Seems like a dud to me.

Yep, that will teach me, I used to work there and try not to go there but needed a board quick.

Looking my XFX PSU Ram, 2x7950 G Cards and case dvd writer all come from ocuk.

That will teach me :) Although my PSU (XFX850w) is a bit dodgy at moment not coming on from cold boot when it has been unplugged until I put a PSU tester in it. Looking to RMA that too.

Guy next to me is saying "should have got a mac" ....grrrrr.
 
Would he like fries with that?
There are some reports of USB keyboards freezing on that board and the recommendation has been to load f6d bios and someone on another forum mentioned an F6g bios but I haven't looked to see if that even exists.

Just realised I am being a numpty on the ram front (complete and utter). The sticks say 8gb but that was a kit. Only worked it out when I found the packaging for the 4gb kit :/

Although new board is better as I can get into bios now :)

No never tried that.

it was 2 things. Me being a numpty and reading that the memory size on the modules was for the kit. It wasn't until I found the box I realised.

The USB keyboard I never could sort so had to reset the cmos ever time to get into bios. Got an msi board now and can get in first time every time.
