Windows not working with single channel 8 gb ram

Hi,

My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you.

Is your 8 GB RAM listed in laptop's compatibility list? If not, please use another RAM model.

 

16 GB of Ram installed hardware hijacking 8 GB of it.

Hi and thank you for your reply. Yes I have tried that (I forgot to mention that): fitting both Rams into slots 1 and 3 and both back into slots 1 and 2. Then I tried putting both into slot 2 to see if they worked and they both worked. Now when i go into
the BIOS, under memory, it says up at the top 8 GB of memory it is using I am thinking. Down to the right where it actually shows what is plugged into the slots where the ram is, it says: in one slot 8 GB and in the other 8 GB. So, to me it actually is registering
the two ram sticks in the slots but is only using 8 GB of memory and that's why it is showing 8 GB in the BIOS? That's what I am hopefully thinking anyway. I am going to look up on my keyboard on how to take a screen shot of my bios so I can show you and get
back to you. Does this sound right to you? Thanks!
