Asus M5A97 Plus ram problems

[DanielDimitrov]

Edit: problem solved. I needed to change the ram sticks closer to the cpu.

 

Hello, I am using asus mainboard and i have problems with the ram i can only use 4gb out of 8gb. My ram is 2x HyperX FURY Blue 4GB, DDR3, 1600MHz. 

I am using Windows 10 and i try with msconfig but didn't work

test both ram sticks seperately in the first slot.

 

i'd dare to bet one of your sticks is dead.

Its dedicating RAM to your GPU because it has to little to run Win 10

you could try putting both sticks on one channel, rather than in the slots they're supposed to go. (instead of the usual slot 1 and 3, try 1 and 2)

With my old configuration was working fine?

Windows 7 (I'm guessing) Needs less to run

Nope i use Windows 10 from last year

i *highly* doubt thats the case, and if it is, its weird that it'd allocate that much.

Windows 10 is still experimental and not everything is perfected yet (Not that it will be), have you installed your motherboards drivers?
