motherboard detects only 1 slot of RAM

  • baka you have an idea mga ka tpc. both slot of ram are working since i tested it one by one with the 2 ram 1gig both pc6400. i tested by inserting 1 ram for each slot and both are working. but when i inserted both rams, it only detects 1 ram.

    ito mga ginawa ko:

    1. resit the cpu
    2. reset bios
    3. change rams
    4. change psu

    motherboard is:

    since i can\'t find the name of motherboard, i used cpu-z

    Gigabyte TEchonology
    GA-RC415 REV1.0

    Can\'t find it in their site, so i can\'t download and update the bios.

  • have you tried:

    1. using only one stick of 2gb of ram on one slot?
    2. 2pcs 1 gb of ram on both slots, but lower frequency rating?
    3. 1 gb of ram on one slot, then another 512mb/ 256mb or 128mb capacity ram on the other (both same frequency)?

    a BIOS upgrade in theory can solve your problem.

    i hate working with OEM mobos like that, anghirap hanapan ng support :(
  • thanks for the reply shintsan88

    yeh, hirap hanapan ng support ang OEM mobos. :(

    1. using only one stick of 2gb of ram on one slot? - never tried this pa since i don\'t have an extra 1 stick 2gig
    2. 2pcs 1 gb of ram on both slots, but lower frequency rating? - i got 2x 1gig of RAM with the same frequency PC6400

    it was working before. maybe a bios virus?

    the problem is, i can\'t find a bios udpate :)
  • have you tried updating the bios?
