    I just got a this computer:
    i5 on MSI H61M-P31/W8 Motherboard
    and 4GB DDR3 Memory.
    Decided to add 8GB PC3 10600 IBM SDRAM
    and it still only sees 4GB. I swapped modules but nothing changes.
    Im running on windows 7 64bit
    if i remove old 4GB and start on new 8GB it doesnt start at all.
    Keep rebooting and i cant get into setup.
    Now my question:
    is the new 8GB module faulty or is there something i do wrong?
    Thanks

    Are All the Ram sticks the same ? (PC310600) You Might have to reset the Bio's, Pull the Bio's battery out for 10 minutes, then replace and see if it picks up all 8 gigs of ram.

    quote from motherboard manual
    after checking, is any chance of EMI locally, if so change Spread Spectrum to reduce EMI

    check those & what BIOS are you running ? presumably 3.5
