Mac Pro (mid 2010) 8-core memory slots not recognized
Hi, I've run out of ideas and was hoping someone could help me. I have a Mac Pro (mid 2010) 8-core with the basic 6 x 1gb memory dimms. I just inserted two new 4gb dimms in slots 1&5, and moved the existing 1gb dimms to slots 4&8. There is no problem with the new memory but I can't get the computer to recognize the full eight slots. I have tried with just six slots and it sees everything but when I fill all eight it stops recognizing slots 3&4. I've tried restarting with option, command p & r held down, and I've taken all the cards out and rearranged them several times but get nothing different. Any other ideas?
many thanks
