RAM Not working?

Try putting your known good stick in the slot you replaced from. Sounds like you have a dead ram slot on your board in all honesty.

Hello,

 

For some reason I have 16GB of ram, although at 1.2GB it says 50%??? Why is my RAM so messed up, in my nvidia geforce and control panel it says 16gb although the computer struggles (as can be seen in task manager). Any idea why this is? 

 

I remember when I put my 1070 in the computer wouldn't work, I took out 1 stick to be left with 8gb, it worked, replaced the extra 8gb and I guess it isn't registered? I'm not sure, but it is fairly messed up.

 

Thanks,

Oli

I don't think it was actually a problem to begin with, no idea what it is but it seems like chrome uses 4gb in itself. Plus other processes like OS that don't appear in task manager I guess. Ohwell
