Empty RAM slots. Open the Task Manager and go to the Performance tab. Select ‘Memory' and under the memory graph, look for the Slots used field. It will tell you how many of the total slots are currently in use. In the screenshot below, the system has a total of 2 slots, and one of them is in use. What Nightgloom and Halym said. First user manual and check how slots are described. There you should also have a quick guide on how to plug RAM. General rule: 1. Slots are A1-A2 B1-B2 2. With two same type RAM you plug A1-B1 / A2-B2 slots. The pic Nightgloom provided explains it perfectly. If all the slots and stick of RAM are working, inserting them back but in different slots as they were originally in before. This is also known to work for some users. Make sure they are properly placed and locked in. Solution 4: Update BIOS. In some cases, an outdated BIOS version has been known to cause this memory bug to appear in Windows 10. So if you get 2 x 8GB sticks and slot correctly will run in dual cahnnel. The potental issue is if 16GB is not enough. It is impossible to tell when that day will come. So buying a 2 slot Motherboard now may be saving you money now. If 16 GB is not enough then you need to get new memory completely. With 4 slots, just buy more memory if needed. It has 4 memory slots for dual channel. My local supplier only has the memory I want in 2x4GB modules. If I purchase 2 kits to make up the 16GB is this less preferable to rather waiting for a 2x8 kit to be ordered. Is there any disadvantage to using all 4 slots as opposed to 2? I will be over clocking using the standard XMP profile only.
