Hey everyone,
New here to the forums and thought I would see if I could get any help with a ram problem im having. Ill post the wall of text from another forum below but i just wanted to mention first that since that post, I have once again tried cycling out my dimms and using one at a time, two and all three. cpu-z always shows the correct amount even thoughthe bios and windows doesnt. im really wondering if anyone who has experience with this board/bios can tell me if I need to be looking at setting something in the bios and how to go about doing that.
Ok so here is my original post..
Hi everyone,
After days of trying to find a fix in other posts on this topic I am stuck. Basically it's the typical issue where I have ram thats not being recognized in the bios or windows CONSISTENTLY. The full 12gb of ram always shows up in CPU-Z and is listed as triple channel, and all slots show a stick of ram.
If I go into the bios under the extreme tweaker tab and enable 'Memory Recheck' and save exit, I get a boot loop untill i shut the machine off, wait a bit then turn it back on. Once I do this, i get an error saying the overclock failed and i have to either hit F1 to enter set up (which is when i disable memory recheck) or i can choose to hit F2 and load setup defaults and the machine boots just fine, but once in windows its still 4gb under system information.
I have removed each stick of ram, tried running with one, then two then three, all while checking the bios to see if the correct amount shows up and its really hit and miss. So far I can only get 8gm to show up in the bios and in windows (all while cpu-z shows the correct amount), but then my machine locked up do to another program and i had to restart. I then got the overclock error and after disabling the memory recheck and finally starting windows back up, I was back to 4gm of ram in the BIOS and in Windows.
I haven't run memtest yet but i did run the windows memory diag. and there were no errors, and since cpu-z sees all three sticks im hoping the memory is fine.
Could this just be an issue of me not knowing how to tweak something with the ram in the bios, if so any suggestions or help is appreciated. Some info on my set up is below, let me know if anything else is needed to help figure this out.
Sorry for the wall of text :)

Here is one guys response, and i couldnt find the options he was raferring to in the bios unless he meant 'Memory Recheck' instead of Memory Hole Remapping. Memory Recheck causes the ram to show up in the bios but the minute i save and exit i get stuck in that boot loop and the pc never posts. My max memory in msconfig is unchecked as well.
I am really curious where this Load Optimized Results options is as well.
Hi, reload optimized defaults in the bios, save and exit settings. Go into into bios and enable Memory Hole Remapping, make sure it's enabled. Also, make certain that the following MSCONFIG looks like yours; see (maximum memory)
Here are some images from my system and cpu-z
