hi.. i dont know if this is the appropriate place to ask but,, recently i tried overclocking my ram @ 1900hz and when i boot in the windows it only shows 2gb available ram. and sometimes 1gb.. while in cpuz it states that i have 3gb of ram available
i have 3 ram modules which are 1gbX3 ddr3
my specs
Asus P6T Corsair Dominator 1X3GB 1600hz XMP PROFILE Core i7 920

Your motherboard might not be able to fully support such high clock settings. Try flash the BIOS to the latest version.

oo managed to recall my P6T, this board is indeed has ram issue when OCed. If default speed & timing confirm no prob but u hv to set everything manually. solution: RMA it or sell off/throw it
Added on December 25, 2009, 3:22 pmgoogle for p6t ram issue dude there's a long list

ahahaha im one of them previously,but not to say ram issue on the p6t but more to ram issue itself and to make it worse happen to my dominator cl8 before..slight voltage adjustment equal to lost of 1 0r 2 stick ram..
well my problem solve after getting new ram cl7 dominator actually, so i guess its the ram is the culprit since it can run on its designated speed of 1600mhz cl7 or cl 8 on 1.56v(my old cl8 stick) but if bump the voltage to higher you start seeing loss of ram.. or even overclock the ram hogher then 1600 equal the same..so i guess cl8 dominator 6 gb kit was not compatible to p6t coz my cl7 dominator 6gb kit perform flawlessly on the same board..
