Motherboard ram issues... HELP

[Rich Armstrong]

Hi guys, as you can see i have a maximus vi formula with 8 gb of ram, however 4 of the 8 isnt being detected. Ive moved the dimms around but still no luck. Ive been using four of the 8 in my current pc and the other 4 in another pc however when i but the other 4 into my main build, only 4 gb is showing. If you know of any reason this may be happening please assist me.

 

Cheers

Are they the same ram?

And also when you have been moving them around has it been the same stick of ram not working or the same dimm slot?

It could be a faulty connection with the CPU and the mobo pins but that might be quite unlikely.

They are the same ram, their out of an old HP computer i used to have. 

I couldnt tell you im afraid, i havent looked at that but i will do now and i'll report back.

Yeah i saw that on my precorsoury google search and thats a scary thought cus i really dont want to have to send my mobo back to asus.

If its the same ram stick not working you might have to get some new ram. If its the dimm slot or the mobo pins you might have to send it back to Asus and I'm guessing its still under warranty

I just swapped it into different dimms and now I'm getting a 53 error for each stick in each dimm. This is fucking brilliant haha. I think I'll be needing new ram...
