Current specs:-
i7 920 @ stock
X58A-UD5 rev1.0 (F7 BIOS) BIOS was updated from F6 to F7 last year Nov 2011.
EVGA 9600GT 1GB GDDR3 @ 2-way SLI
TX650W (old one, bought 4yrs ago)
Lancool PC-K62
M2700HD (using DVI cable)
6GB DDR3 GSkill 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 @ 1.6V (slots used are 1,3,5 - triple channel)
Noctua NH-D14
Win 7 Ultimate x64
Changes done:-
All my hardware are 4yrs old except GTX 580 which is only 10 months old.
Removed both 9600GT & installed EVGA GTX 580.
Problem:-
Bios detects all 3 RAM modules. But usable is only 4GB. The same is shown via System Info when you're in Windows > Right-click My Computer > Properties
Boot process goes till - "Verifying DMI pool data" > "Detecting DRAM size..."
and then restarts automatically 3 times, sometimes 4. On the 4th or 5th run, it finally goes till windows & this time you only get "Verifying DMI pool data". The "Detecting DRAM size..." line does not appear.
I googled this & came up with these - results
Haven't had time to reseat the RAM sticks. Will do it during the weekend. Helluva time in office this week.
Removed GTX 580 & re-installed 9600GT in SLI. The problem persisted which was totally unexpected. Had a true WTF moment last night.
Any quick suggestions which I can do tonight or any weekday?
