Memory Slot Not Reading Ram
I had to call HyperX support after buying and installing the Kingston HyperX fury RGB 3200 MHz 8GB RAM from Amazon. It works, but it will not run at the advertised speed of 3200 MHz and it will not run in dual channel mode. To set the new RAM at the higher frequency, XMP Profile 1 for this memory slot has to be enabled in the bios. Read on to learn about the types of RAM slots and how to install or replace your RAM for better performance. RAM slots on a motherboard come in sets, and it is important to make sure you install RAM in sequence corresponding to these sockets. The RAM fits into long channels on the motherboard in sets of two, three or four. Not, there just was something inside in the second slot, and the RAM was not go inside correctly. Samsung and Kingston RAMs are in same size, just one 4GB and second one 8GB, totally 12GB. Now working fine. I was trying so many times, and finally after checking all pins, I put it inside correctly. If after you upgrade (add) more RAM to your Mac, and it’s not listed as being installed – first check to make sure the ram is “seated” properly in the memory slots. If it appears to be installed properly, reboot your Mac while holding down the command + option + p + r keys.

Memory Slot Not Reading Ram Upgrade
I've got an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard. Today I tried adding some new RAM to take it from 4GB to 8GB. The board is about 6 years' old. I've never used the black RAM slots before, only the yellow ones (2x2GB in slots 1 and 3).
My system only sees 6GB, not 8GB. I've tried various combinations of the RAM, get the same result.
To check the new RAM wasn't defective, I tried it in slot 1, a known good slot. All 4 sticks of RAM worked in slot 1, so the RAM wasn't faulty.
All 4 sticks work in every slot except slot 2 (the first black RAM slot). If I put any stick in slot 2 - old or new - the PC is dead, it won't even boot to the BIOS.
So it looks like I have a defective RAM slot.
Does anyone know of any way to fix this? The board is too old to RMA. I've tried an emery board down the defective slot, and I've tried squirting WD40 down it. No improvement.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get that bad slot working?
Thanks!
