So I finally reseated the CPU and still have the same problem. Completely took my computer apart, cleaned it and rebuilt it. No bent pins on the CPU socket or the DIMM slots. It's still reporting half the RAM after the rebuild. I even tried installing 2 4GB sticks and 2 2GB sticks, 1 of each per...

I'm gonna reseat the CPU sometime next week when I have time off work. Doubt it'll fix it but it's worth a shot. I'll try anything at this point to avoid dealing with ASUS support. I wish I can get my hands on a 16GB (2 x 8GB) kit to see if my MB can see more than 8GB or RAM. I returned the...

As I said in my previous post, I already checked for physical damage, that includes bent pins, on all of the DIMM slots and there was none. I even cleaned the DIMM slots with a can of compressed air to make sure no dust was interfering with the contacts. I tested the RAM for more than 3...

New RAM same problem So I bought a Dual Channel 4 stick kit during Black Friday to see if it'll fix the issue. A Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (P/N: CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B). Newegg Link: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145347 It did not fix the problem. My computer still...

There's no defaults or failsafe defaults option on the BIOS, just optimized defaults. I already tried resetting the BIOS using the pins on the motherboard. That was one of the first things I did before I tried pulling the CMOS battery. The 11-11-11-30 timings will work for the 12800CL9-4GBXL...

When I go into the BIOS, the EZ mode screen only shows 8192 MB of RAM but if I got into the ASUS SPD Information under the Tools Tab, it can see all 4 DIMMs populated with 4GB sticks. In other words, the BIOS detects 16GB or RAM but can only use/address 8GB of them. I basically reset the BIOS...

I have a very strange problem with my ASUS P8Z77 V Pro where it now see's half the memory installed. I turned my computer on a couple of days ago and the POST said Overclock failed, press F1 to set BIOS... What's weird about that was that my computer wasn't overclocked. I only set the RAM to...
