Are you putting it in the right slot? I had a problem when I first built this PC, as I put the ram chips next to each other, but the actual order is "1-3-2-4"

I place it next to each other, as I have only two RAM slots.....(Curse the G31 chipset..... Tongue

)

I think CPU-Z is far more crazy than Windows.....It shows me 6 RAM slots...and total 50 GB of RAM in two slots...

it works fine here

and as it detects his ram fine i'd suggest doing a memtest(its best done using a bootable medium like from a linux boot CD) and if that works fine look as to why your OS isn't detecting ram correctly (maybe its still keeping a bit of memory for integrated vga controller or something else)

Strange, I put bios to peg port and disabled x1 force, then dvmt/shared memory is greyed out... so if I'm correct windows should allocate all memory...
