Re: Advice needed on upgrading an 9yr self build
Checked the manual, it does not specify 8GB DIMM support, so the 8GB may be also locking out the 2GB on the same channel - maybe in this context, "Hardware Reserved" means present but inaccessible.

So the other option is try just the pair of 2GB.

If so, you can add another pair of 2's dirt cheap from CEX £2.50 a piece, to get to 8GB
