---


PC: ASUS UX501 JW

Goal:
    Upgrade ram from 16 GB to 24 GB by replacing the 8GB RAM stick with Crucial CT204864BF160B 16GB.

Required ram: DDR3(L) 1600Mhz

Current : Upgrade effect / Problem :
  • Bios recognizes 24 GB RAM just displays the total amount Smile
  • RAM available on Linux (Ubuntu 19.04) and Windows 10 is 8 GB Huh
  • CPU-Z Displays 16 GB total memory (as before upgrading) Undecided
  • CPU-Z Displays 16 GB Ram stick on slot 3 (previously 8 GB Ram on slot 1
