Unfortunately many links are not recoverable from the old forum as those servers were shut down. I will do a cleanup and I'm sorry but some info will be irritably lost forever 

not a prob dude. 
i am posting a thread with the new problem i am facing.
supposedly the mobo was new. :(

The thread is now cleaned and only those links which are still working are posted

If i have the 6gb (3.99 usable) ram issue (cause of 3 broken pins) is it possible to get to 5.99 usable ram if increased original ram from 6gb to 8gb? i ask this cause when testing individual rams when having two sticks i had my ram appearing as 4gb (1.99 usable) , with one stick had 2gb (0.99 usable)...so the hardware malfunction only substracts 2 gb of ram from the original value or it caps at 3.99gb? everything else works well even with this hardware malfunction...

Just replace the hardware.

Solution to this problem Windows 7 "Ultimate" , assuming the motherboard, the new memory sticks and the Bios are working as it should.

1- Install the new sticks, turn on the computer and do not touch the Bios (will recognize them automatically, it should 99.99% of the times), just let windows start normally, if so, login as administrator.

2- go to "control panel" > "System > advanced system settings > advanced > under "Performance" effects, etc click on "Settings" > again click on "advanced" > virtual memory > click on change > and select "no paging file", will ask to restart > click YES > restart and continue last step 3

3- type under Start command "msconfig" > enter > click "boot" > advanced options > uncheck "Maximun Memory" > ok > apply > restart

4- if you followed all this steps on sequence from 1-3, now go to control panel > system > you will see your full memory ready to use.

Note: do not run any memory freeware checking software, will not help at all. Goodbye
