Hi , i have recently encountered a weird problem that i've never met before and it seems that i can't solve it . Half of my total memory is gone . BIOS reports 4096 mb , but in the same time , on the SPD info in bios i can see that every slot is populated with a 2048 mb stick . I am running 4 x 2 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 , XMP on a Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard and a Intel i5-3570K cpu . I don't know if this is somehow related to the fact that i've upgraded my gpu to a R9-280 . Needless to say that i've tested each memory stick on each slot , one by one , then dual channel , then all of them , everything works . MemTest86+ shows no errors , Cpu-Z reports 8 Gb , Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit reports 4 gb . Downgraded the BIOS , same issue and another problem , my machine won't POST on UEFI mode with the R9 , it works only in legacy mode . Upgraded to the latest BIOS , same problem . Any help would be useful . Thanks .
