heres one that'll throw you for a loop


Recommended Posts

so i boot up my computer one day and it is only reading half of my ram size and only one of my GPU's.

read ram size through control panel> system> view ram and processor speed.

read GPU through EVGA precison and Nvidia control panel.

i have 32gbs G.skill 1600 ( OC 1866) actually installed. only 16 show up now ( it read 32 from march to nov 30th, 2013)

EVGA GTX 580's 1.5gb SLI

MSI Z77A-GD80 mobo

thermaltake 1275w PSU

i have swapped GPU places and same thing.

I have swapped RAM and still shows 16gbs.

That gets rid of the ideal of them being bad.

now..

i have the normal bios and the Clickbios that i can use to change settings to the bios when windows is already running.

Startup bios shows 16gb installed. Clickbios shows 32gb installed.

CPU-Z shows 32gb installed

DxDiag shows 16gb installed

Task manager shows 16gb installed

The ONLY thing that i can even remotely think of is that a GPU buss and dual link RAM slot have gone out on the chipset on the M77A.

I have returned everything to stock settings ( no OC on anything)

same readings either way, OC or stock settings.

i took a multimeter to the PSU and its testing out with proper voltage.

onboard test spot for the MOBO test out with proper voltage, onboard debugg lights display a 55 like normal.

There are no swollen caps on the MOBO and the south bridge feels warm to the touch after a 19 hour gaming session. which, i'm assuming is normal.

ANYBODY think of anything that i may have missed?

yup. i have tried setting it by hand and nothing. heres the funny thing, the ram is 1866 Mhz OC but the bios will only let me go to 1600 Mhz.

i have literally tried every little thing and nothing, reset bios to factory and nothing, so i went update by update for bios and nothing still. it is blowing my mind. on board voltage test spot for RAM is measure 1.5v so i know that it is getting proper volts.

Ubuntu is showing 32gb but.... gnome3 is showing 16gb.

i'm just going to have to RMA the board in febuary.

i cant afford to be without a computer with my online school work.
