it cant be, because i haved tried putting the dual in slot 1&3 and 1&2

and my friend uses the same ram (also 2pcs) and also has 2 assorted ram on intel i7 4th gen

Memory controller in 4th gen is different, can't compare. I bet it's a single and dual rank mixing problem. Read the manual more closely in the memory configurations section.

I've never heard of 2nd gen CPUs being limited intentionally to 2 dimms, although now that I think about it, it's possible the memory controller itself is damaged. 

 

How likely is it that you could test with a friend's ddr3? If someone has 2x8GB you could borrow, or even 1x8GB, you might get some answers.

it seems that i have solved the case

the culprit is the MOTHERBOARD!!

i go to my nearest pc shop and somehow i have managed to get a 8gb stick of ram 

when i plugged it in with an 4gb beside it, it just detects 8gb total

so the ram cap is true

 

i also didnt told you that the bios setting always resets when theres no power (even theres an cmos at 3v) i thought this was irrelevant, but thats not the case, they told me that it might have a affect on the ram slot

we also tried other cpu

 i3-2100, i3-2120 (not booting)

tried i5-2nd gen and it boots, but only 1 ram slot usable (maxing up to 1x8gb)

its so confusing how this defect works, i have never encountered this in my life

unfortunately i cant RMA this because of some reasons

 

thank you all for participating in this confusing journey, all help are appreciated

now this is getting very weird
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?!?!

 

IT GOT DETECTED, ALL OF THEM, I DONT HAVE TO BUY NEW MOTHERBOARD!!!!!
I think the one that fixed it is either reseating the CPU or reseating all components except the ram
I disassembled my pc because I need the PSU and GPU to test my old pc for sale

 

then I just saw this, what a relief

i just need to fix my CMOS issue, gonna pop a new thread in this forum

now when i restarted it, it came back to 8gb

memtest only shows 2 slots on its spd info, but all in the bios spd info
