(about to go looking for answers, but I thought I'd throw it in here in case it's something someone has seen)
Buddy has got an ASUS P9X79 (I advised Gigabyte, but hey-ho), the memory, 8x4g Corsair (CMP16GX3M4X1866C9 Model ID) - shows up as 24g.
In the crazy bios menus, under SPD, it shows 2 of the sticks as "abnormal". Move them around and you get different sticks, and sometimes the same sticks showing as "abnormal".
Bios has been updated to 0802 (from 0605), which was the usual ASUS traumatic experience, but it's now the latest one. Didn't solve anything.
Under normal circumstances, I'd be saying as with most mobos, the voltage when you fill all memory slots needs to be upped - but.. that's a really old trick - and should you need to do this sort of thing these days ? Not overclocking or anything right now.
Any suggestions ? (I've checked he's got all the correct powers connected etc.)
.. off to Corsair to have a looksee ..
