It's only recently I noticed only 4GB RAM. The only physical change that I made was added a CoolMaster FAN.
That gives idea where to look. Pull memory sticks out and back in.
Whenever you work something inside the computer and something fails, first thing is to check contacts and connectors by simply re-seat them (pull out completely and then push back in).
If that doesn't help pull memory sticks out and inspect visually contacts and sockets for dust, as it can happen that reseating pushed some dust in a socket.
Seems like MB is the culprit. I tried resetting RAM and CPU but no success then I removed 2 sticks leaving on 4GB on board but then the system detected only one. I tried one and failed to detect RAM from 2 slot. I don't know if its a hardware issue or BIOS. Should I RMA? I bought it in August?
Fortunately I had another MB P7P55D-E and tried it detected full 8GB RAM.
Check the manual for your motherboard and check into which slots the RAM has to go to be fully recognised; also check whether the RAM used is matched pairs or unmatched singles (also if they have 16 chips onboard or more - eg, a mobo I am using will not accept sticks if they have more than 16 chips on board).
I had a Gigabyte motherboard which accepted 2GB of RAM, and had 4 slots for the RAM. At the time I bought 2X512MB matched DDRs and then later bought 2 single, unmatched 512MB sticks. The 2 matched sticks had to go into slots 1 and 3 to work as dual-channel RAM but when I added the single sticks nothing worked. Reason was that to get the full 2GB I had to have 4 single, unmatched, sticks. I didn't know this until I read the manual :-( .
Yes, the RAMs were working fine. I was using the full 8GB of it, but something went wrong lately.
