Right well annoyed had the thing for ages upgraded to windows 7 bought another 2 sticks of memory only to find that 1 slot is not working so its only picking up 3gig not 4!!!!!!!

Any one fancy a swap 4x1gig sticks for 2x2gig sticks????????

Failing that any one got 2x2gig 240pin ddr2 lying around they dont want pm me lol

 

what mobo is it ... some only recognise the fact the last slot is there for single sided ram

 

It's a P5W DH Deluxe.

The manual says it supports 8gig 2 per slot 4 slots I'm almost sure the last slot is not working. Have already swapped the ram around to check that's ok, put 1 stick at a time into slot 1 and they all showed up as I have 32bit windows 7 there is no point having any more than 4gig hence the orignal post.

 

What is the OS showing? If its 3.25gb then it is identifying the 4th stick. You need to run the 64bit OS for it to identify it all.

 

Bios showing 3078 windows says 3. If you only plug a stick in that last slot the mobo does not even see it sits there beeping away to show no memory installed.

 

BIOS Update may cure it? Failing that it sounds like a fucked slot.

 

Bios is latest one hence the reason for the first post as i'm sure the slot is dead

 

dont asus give 3 year warrenty on mobos ?

 

Worked it dead slot now got a 2 gig stick and im showing 4gig total.

Cant find the recipt so im a bit stuffed sending it back

 

try entering the serial number on the asus site mate .. might get it sorted for you
