I've build a new system using a GIGABYTE GA-Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 Motherboard with this here set of RAM:
Buy the VisionTek 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1866MHz Perf Memory Kit at TigerDirect.ca
When the system posts, it shows only 4GB of RAM. Looking inside the BIOS also reveals only 4GB RAM. I'm not at the PC at the moment, but the status page showing all four slots shows two 4GB modules but then below that it has 2048 for the active amount. When I boot into Windows 7 x64 it shows 8GB but only 4GB usable.
What I've tried so far:
I'm really running out of ideas here.. any help?

What I've tried so far:
- I'm running the latest BIOS so that's not the issue (at least not an issue updating would fix).
- I've tried moving the modules to different slots.. same issue. I've even tried them in different channels (ie: slots 1-2 and 1-3).
- If I remove one module it displays half again.. only 4GB with 2GB usable. Both modules do this.
- I've removed the CPU and modules and reseated them.
