Hey guys,
I have Corsair 1333Mhz DDR3 (3x1GB) RAM Kit running on MSi X58 Pro -E motherboard, with Win 7 Ultimate 64bit OS
Now, as all x58 mobos support tri channel memory, my 3GB Ram kit only shows 2GB
It started to happen cpl of weeks ago,
scenario-1: All 3 Sticks inserted in the 3 BLUE Slots
The System fails to start up (Constant Restarts) and does NOT even gets to the BIOS/POST screen
===============================================
===============================================
scenario-2: All 3 Sticks inserted in the 3 BLACK Slots
1.) Wen i insert 1 RAM Stick, it gets properly Detected as 1GB (1024MB @ BIOS)
2.) Wen i insert 2 RAM Sticks, it gets properly Detected as 2GB (2048MB @ BIOS)
...but...
3.) Wen i insert the 3rd and final RAM Stick, boom..it gets Detected ONLY as 2GB instead of the normal 3GB (3072MB @ BIOS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALso, i Tried exchanging th RAM Sticks thinking that the 3rd Stick out of the 3 Sticks might be faulty, but its NOT the case...
Stick 1+Stick 2=2GB Detected.......... (Good case)
Stick 1+Stick 3=2GB Detected.......... (Good case)
Stick 2+Stick 3=2GB Detected.......... (Good case)
...but...
As soon as the 3rd Stick is inserted, its still stuck @ 2GB
---------------------
So cant figure out wats the problem... is the RAM slots at fault../???
