April 30, 20233 yr Hi, if upgraded my ram on my Unraid Server. I now use 16gb of ram instead of 8gb. Unraid shows on the Dashboard that 16gb of Ram are installed but wont use it. When i use htop in the Unraid console it shows me that "xy" gb amount out of 8gb ram are used. Is there a way i can fix this? When my MoBo detects the 16gb and it shows them in the Dashboard why wont Unraid use the full 16gb ? unraid-server-r-diagnostics-20230430-1245.zip
April 30, 20233 yr This is usually a hardware isssue (bad/dirty contact, poorly seated stick) that results in the identification chip being read but data transfers to fail resulting in the stick getting disabled.

April 30, 20233 yr If you're booting legacy then yes the boot menu has a memtest option, otherwise just make your own memtest86 boot drive. 9 minutes ago, CEO Primesky said: but i still find it a bit odd that exactly 2 out of 4 sticks ar not working. Then probably a whole channel isn't working, could also be CPU-side contact issues. Move sticks around to see what the problem follows, if it's sticks or slots, and which one(s).

May 1, 20233 yr Author Solution Found the Problem. There was a bend pin on on the CPU after puting it back in to the right place it works Perfectly fine now.
