I have a 586 with a SOYO 5TA2 motherboard (7/12/95 triton 2A59CS2HC-00 and Intel FX Chipset) with 2 banks(0 and 1) of SIMM memory and i´ve instaled with 4 memory sticks 8mbs each (all equals)and the problem is that in bank 0 only detects 8 mbs when should be 16mb. I ´ve tried to change them ones with others;then just 1 bank ,then the other bank and same thing happens,so there´s no problem with the memories themselves.The motherbord manual says it can support from 4mbs to 128mbs
is there anything that can be done to solve the problem?

Get the latest BIOS. There's
08/22/97-i430FX-2A59CS2HC-00
TAN-0823

Backup your BIOS before flashing.

well i´ve upgraded the bios but the memory problem still persists
i´ve cleared the cmos after the and still nothing.tried also take out the simms and put them again
but that didn´t solve
