Hardware is reserving 4GB of memory

(1/1)

rathoriel:
I just built a new computer for myself at work but I am only able to use half of the Memory. Its a Windows 7 Pro x64 8GB memory with a ASUS p7p55D Deluxe Motherboard. I have tried remapping memory in BIOS, reseating memory. all the RAM is the same 4 x 2GB corsair xms ddr3 1600. CPU-z says i have 8GB in single channel. windows says I have 8GB with 4gb usable.

any thoughts?

rheffera:
You sure it's 64-bit windows instead of 32? if its really 64 bit then i dunno what to tell you.

rathoriel:
100% sure and it is a legitimate OEM DVD
