I bought this RAM: PNY-Optima MD8192KD3-1333 8GB DDR3 SDRAM
I'm trying to use this memory in my A55M-HVS Motherboard. The BIOS detects the RAM. When I load any Operating System, whether it be Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64-Bit, Windows 8 Release Preview 64-Bit, or Ubuntu 10.10 64-Bit, the OS tells me that it can only use roughly 4 GB of the RAM. The other 4 GB is "Hardware Reserved." To try to fix this problem, I tried moving my RAM around, and tried using one module at a time. The OS detects each individual module and does not report any problems with the memory. So, I know that the modules are working properly. I've also updated the A55M-HVS BIOS to the latest version, which is currently 1.30. I've looked online for ways to fix this. I've come across the idea of enabling Memory Remapping in BIOS, but I can't find that option in the Motherboard's BIOS. Is there another solution to solving this problem, and letting me be able to use all of the RAM?
