RAM not fully detected...

[Time_Traveller159]

Hey!

 

I sure hope I put this in the right place, this time...

 

(ahem) Anyway...

 

It's me! The nerd who, has a lot to learn, but is willing and has learnt a fair few things along the way! ;D

 

Okay, onto the issue I have here:

 

I have Windows 11. 64 Bit. 

 

I have 128GB Ram. DDR4. 2666mhz for all sticks. They are Physically there, all present and accounted for. 

 

Issue: Windows is NOT detecting ALL the Ram... Says it only can detect 4/8 (four out of eight slots)...

 

However, in CPU-Z, it says it can see *almost* all the Ram...

 

... Am I missing something? Or, am I being clearly stupid?

 

This is my "new" pc. Well, "new" to me. One that I put a lot of time into saving to buy. I've been "experimenting" with machines, and recently sold an AMD one. 

 

To those who saw my previous posts... Yes, yes, I went back to "Team Blue" but I'm just... I dunno. I seem to have a long love for Intel.

 

Even if they are at everyone's "despise" list...

 

So yeah, do I need to do a fresh install? or is there something else I'm missing?

remove all sticks try 1-2 ram sticks at a time to see if any is bad, also read the labels on the ram sticks, maybe one is 4 gb or something stupid like that

I'll give that a go. Thank you

Okay... That didn't work. Any other ideas, guys? (and girls obviously)

 

It's okay if there's nothing I can do. It's DDR4, just so you know  

[Time_Traveller159]

"That didn't work."

 

What I meant was, there was nothing abnormal about the RAM and the sticks were all 16gb...

what does it show in the BIOS?

[Tridefender]

Uhh cleaning the slots and check if your cpu supports that many ram channels

also the gold connector on the ram aswell

Yeah... Team blue ain't that much worse than amd (only like 50%lol) but does the CPU actually support that many ram sticks.... full specs, etc? 

[Time_Traveller159]

"but does the CPU actually support that many ram sticks.... full specs, etc?"

 

Yep! I just got it sorted. Took a little while of trial and error xD

 

i9 1080xe - I cleaned the ram, as per Tridefender's suggestions, and yep, it shows as 64gb in the BIOS but in CPU-Z and everywhere else it shows up as 128GB now XD

 

As well as, Bwithnewcast's suggestion of checking all the ram and making sure they were seated properly... Yeah, I was being stupid ;P 

 

Thank you everyone! ;D
