[ronnyboygenius]

Hi Guys,

 

First time builder here so do forgive me for my noobness :P

 

Here's what I have,

 

Motherboard: ROG Maximus V Formula

CPU: Intel Core i7 - 3770K LGA 1155

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB (X4) BUS 1866 Cas 9

VGA: Asus GTX 670 Direct CU OC Gaming 2GB (x2 - SLI)

 

Just finish putting everything together just to find out my PC only detect 2 out of the 4 RAM I used. Can anyone advise on what is normally causing this issue and ways to fix it maybe.

 

Thank you in advance and advise is very much appreciated!

Hey :)

 

You can try to only have 1 ram in your pc and see if its start and work. try that whit all your ram.

If that work all you ram should work. Try to find out what dimm slot that not are working buy just a 1 one ram in 1 dimm and then test and move it.

If you fint a dimm slot that not at working it can be your MB or your CPU becourse the ram contoller is in the cpu. 

If you have a friend whit a 1155LGA MB borrow his cpu and try it out on your MB and then start all the ram test again. 
If still a dimm not working its your MB my be defect and you need a new one.

If all work now then its your CPU that have a bag RAM controller.

 

its hard to troubleshoot RAM but i hope you can find  the error :)

Press the power switch and then hold down the MemOK button for two-three seconds and release.

 

^That's prolly not how you're suppose to do it, but that's how I do it :P

 

 

 

A bios flash would not hurt you at all :] You can do it very easily...
