Yet another hardware reserved RAM problem.

[Flattus]

A few days ago I thought it would be good to upgrade my ram by 4 more gigs and just getting it yesterday, i put it in and boot up and It recognizes all 8 gigs of ram but 4 of the gigs are hardware reserved. ive tried diffrent slot combinations, re-seated my CPU, upped the voltage of the ram, checked in msconfig if there was a memory limit. Basically tried everything and I can't figure it out.

Looked at the mobo specs before I bought it and mine supports up to 12GB of DDR3 Ram.

Specs:
MSI P55-CD53 motherboard
Intel i5 Lynnfield 750 2.67ghz processor
G.skill Ripjaws 4x2gb DDR3 (1600x2 1333x2)
HD Radeon 5770 1GB video card.

EDIT: Also all 4 sticks work perfectly fine, I tried running just the two in my system and they worked flawlessly.
Im sure I wont get much help than what ive found on google but I figured i'd ask fellow BG'ers to see what I can dig up.

Much thanks.

EDIT: also, all four sticks work perfectly fine. I ran my system with just the two new ones in and it worked flawlessly.

My only problem is I cant find any Memory Remapping option in the bios (unless thats what memory ratio is. I'm a BIOs noob)

EDIT: Read somewhere saying my mobo didnt have a memory remapping option in the BIOs, so it's somewhere in Windows perhaps.
