I have a new Z68 board with two Corsair 8GB sticks in slot 1 and 3 (16GB total). When I boot up, BIOS only shows 8GB. At first I thought one of the sticks must be faulty and it was only showing the one that was working. However, when I went into the memory section of BIOS, it is actually showing two x 4GB. So I updated from F8 to F9C, same problem - though was going to do this anyway.
So, I pulled out the sticks and dropped them into my other computer with a different brand Z68 mobo and it shows 16GB. Anyone run into this before and have an idea what might be the problem?
Grateful for any ideas, thanks!
