In UEFI bios utility I can just select Profile#1 and its completely match with G-Skill ram, but the issue is total mem is shown just 16 GB instead of 32GB. I tried to edit Profile#1, but it was impossible. Ifound a solution way in GSkill Website that recommend clear CMOS. I have Win7 And UBUNTU both on my computer and Im not sure to lost the boot table if I clear COMS or not. So, I prefered to fine other ways to solve it. Please guide me in this situation.Thanks Feri
