Blunt Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 My UEFI (BIOS) upon booting displays ram size, so always thought everything was great. Last week I was looking in Windows system information and it said I only had 8GB of ram. I was like WTF, I know I have 2 sticks and thought maybe one wasn't seated perfectly. Well.....yada, yada, yada.......... it turns out, the MOBO only checks that that a ram chip is inserted, not if it's usable (defective). Evidently that is the Operating Systems responsibility. Long story short, I bought to new RAM modules and all is better now. Lesson learned. 1 Quote
