Hi,
I have: 990FX EXTREME4 AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 16 GB RAM 4 sticks GTX 970 WINDOWS 10 PRO My issue that windows and BIOS recognize 16GB of RAM and us only 8GB, I couldn't use the setup disk that came with the product so i install ALL IN 1 from the website {AllIn1(v15.20.1060_9)} |

I noticed that in boot written
AMD Phenom II P1.0 Does the (P1.0) refer to bios version? Should i update it to version 2.7 as you provide here? http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=Download&os=BIOS And what is (instant flash, dos, windows)? As i understand they are different ways to update BIOS, So for me i am taking the windows way

Never use the windows way. Always use instant flash, instructions can be found by clicking the medical cross icon next to the download.
Instant flash is by far the safest and most reliable method to use.

It being in Single Channel yet recognize 16G, all 4 GB sticks, I'd say you need to pull the CPU and check for bent or broken pins. |
