mobo- GA-P55-UD3 rev. 1.0
ram - g.skill ripjaw ddr3 (F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH)
win7 64bit
Hello, the trouble I'm having is that BIOS only recognises 2GB of ram out of the 4GB that I have installed, I checked windows and it states "4.00GB installed(2.00GB usuable)". Naturally I made sure the ram was in the right place and I also switched them around but still the same problem, so I don't think the ram is faulty. I read around the internet and heard that this might be a ram compatibility issue and that flashing the BIOS might help. I've never flashed any bios before.. but I have read the manual carefully, the BIOS I'm currently running at the moment is F3, is it ok to make the big jump all the way to f9?
also I'm using a 2gb usb flash stick (fat32) with qflash but when I extract the 3 files into it the autoexec one disappears. I'm pretty sure its still there just invisible, is that normal?
any help would be appreciated :)
