8GB Ram is being detected as 1.95 GB.

By


I’m having a weird issue.
My 8GB Ram is being detected as 1.95 GB.
I’ve tried this ram in different slots as well as different PCs but everywhere it is detected as 1.95 GB.
What could be the issue and solution ?

Ram : Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB

    Maybe its reserved for the gpu or so.
    So, does the taskmanager say something like 13gb reserved?

    Does it also show 2gb with 1 of the 2 sticks used?

    Should both sticks be bad? I think it’s more likely the motherboard. Did you try the ram on a different pc.

    New build? New ram? Or did this happen after a crash wile being in game or so?

    Those pins arent exactly in great shape, it could be affecting how that stick is communicating.

    Clean the pins with an eraser and run some tests

    Where did you get it from? Does Icue see it?

    Check if it also says that in the BIOS, if so it’s almost definitely some sort of hardware issue.

    updated the BIOS to the newest version already?

    seems like a hardware defect. return it if you can.

    Don’t handle RAM like that. Static, oil deposits from your fingers. You can damage it.

    Take a rubber/eraser and go over the gold pins with it.

    Could fix the problem.

    Wipe the ram contacts with a white eraser to clean off grime and try again

    happened to me when i was using a 32 bit os

    What does it say the ramstick is in cpu-z ?
    Does it get detected as an 8 gb stick there from corsair ?
    Or has someone swapped the cooler out while thats another ramstick under there ?

    Some memory banks might have gotten busted

    Clear your RAM connection pads with eraser, try one more time. If that doesn’t fix the issue, this one’s faulty.

  21. Teftell

    Try cleaning those pins with isopropyl alchohol

  24. BurkieMonk

    see if it posts with just that one stick in.

  25. Electrical_Humor8834

    Or maybe you’ve been scammed

  26. RicoDruif

    Did you buy it new? No chance someone put a 8gb heat sink on a 2gb stick of ram?

  27. bgd5

    I had the same problem. The bios battery was discharged and after I replace it was the problem solved. Don’t forget to load default settings in bios.

  28. nonexistantchlp

    Use a rubber eraser to clean the pins

  30. tesmatsam

    You need at least 4gb of ram to operate windows 11

  31. SMOKEthatGAME

    I will never buy anything from this brand

  32. Affectionate_Shoe599

    OR use a rubber and use it to erase the gold connectors, it might fix it

  33. GO2DESTROY

    Are u using a 32 bit version of window by any chance?
