Memory Module - Incorrect Recognition Of Memory Capacity After Mixed Insertion

Jan 15, 2025 Leave a message

Tip: The first possible reason for this phenomenon is due to the motherboard chipset itself. Some old motherboards only support a capacity of 256MB of memory (the i815 series only supports 512MB), and the excess cannot be recognized and used. Of course, there are also some situations where the motherboard cannot support high-level memory particles, and the only way to solve such problems is to replace the motherboard or memory. In addition, in some cases, this problem can also be solved by adjusting the insertion order of memory.
The problem of unstable mixed memory insertion is an old one. In the face of this situation, the author suggests that when choosing memory modules, you should choose high-quality memory such as Kingston and Jintek, because their electrical compatibility and stability are relatively good, the probability of problems is lower, and they also have after-sales guarantee.
The other part is caused by poor contact between the gold finger and the motherboard slot during the use of the memory, or by viruses and other reasons. The specific memory problems and solutions are as follows.
