Hello guys !
I've built a computer 1,5 years ago, and I just noticed, while I was doing some video editing that I was working on 4Gb of RAM while I got 8Gb of RAM installed on the motherboard (2*4Gb). I run a W7 - 64bit.
After browsing the web (and this forum) for a couple of hours... I still don't understand what's going wrong.
Some of my specs :
CPU : Intel Core i7 - 2600K
CPU@3.4GHzMotherboard : Z68X-UD3-B3
RAM : G.SKILL 8GB (4GB x 2) 1600 MHz CL9 RipJaws X Desktop RAM (Timing : 9-9-9-24)
Video : 2 * GeForce GTX 570
What I have done so far so far :
- Swapped RAM Module on every slot possible and established than all the slots are functionning
- This motherboard support up to 32Gb of RAM, so 8Gb should'nt be a problem
- All the drivers are up to date
What I suspect :
- One of the two RAM Module is dead
- Somehow, a software is caping my use of RAM
If I need to buy new RAM's module, I want to be sure that my current module is not working. So I would like to know if you guys can help me on determining what is wrong with my computer
Thx a lot.
