I have this motherboard: GA-X38-DQ6 which can hold up to 8 GB of Ram.
When I got this computer it had 4 memory sticks, 1 GB each, and everything was fine. Now, I have two sticks, 4 GB memory each: DDR2 8GB RAM KIT (2x4GB) PC2-6400 800 Mhz 240pin For AMD CPU Chipset.
Using x64 Windows 7 Operating System.
The problem: When I installed them I can see in dxdiag that I have 8 gb of memory but in task manager the total is 4.
Steps I did to define the problem: At first I thought that 1 of the ram sticks was not working, so I took them out one at a time to check if they were malfunctioning. And I noticed the following thing: Both of the rams were appeared as half in the task manager.
So I believe there must be a bios setting that is wrong or something with the ram sticks. I even tried to boost the voltage for rams ( from 1.2 normal I made it 1.8 ). I read many similar problems here here, but I did not come to any conclusions so I would appreciate some help.
