I have a problem with my memory, It says that only 3,9GB RAM is usable although i have 8GB and the computer recognizes it all.

I have tried resetting the maxinum memory from msconfig boot menu but nothing happens and the changes aren't permanent although it says so

Then I tried it from cmd with bcedit command but it doesn't recognize it as a internal or external command

Specs:
Radeon hd 4870
2x4GB hyperx ram
500w PSU
Asus P5B deluxe motherboard
Amd Phenom 2 X4 965 3,4Ghz
Newly installed windows 7 ultimate

Any suggestions?

Did you install 32 bit or 64 bit Windows
>>
32bit
>>
>>53548970
you need to install 64 bit windows to take advantage of greater than 4gb ram

gamers, everybody

>>53548967

Swap RAM sticks around, try each individual slot, see if they show in BIOS

They are all already shown in bios

BIOS says that I have 8GB but my computer uses just a little less than half of that
>>
>>53549041
Reinstall Windows? Try a Linux live disk and see if the RAM shows and is usable?

Intel is just a bunch of jews rubbing their hands when they have more money from same products than amd

This was a fresh installation of wibdows and I had the same problem also
before
>>
>>53549073
i think he's confused as to how you got an amd cpu to work on an intel chipset, anon
they don't usually interact too well
>>
>>53549532
Why wouldn't it? Cyrix processors worked on Intel boards
>>
>>53548954
You say you got a 64bit OS but I have a feeling your trying to save face
>>
>>53548954
The other 4 gigs are used for extreme fast showing of ads
>>
>>53548954
Had this issue before. Move your ram sticks around until it works. It is in the wrong slots.
>>
Lower frequency a little. Happened to me. Also if available change your xmp profile.
>>
upgrade to x64 bit operating system
>>
>>53549137
you obviously installed the 32 bit
