Hello all,
I have an old Shuttles Case and I thought motherboard, but it's not. I can't find any info on the MB other than some numbers, 71R-FG4100-T820.
Here's somewhat the history of it. I put together a Shuttle SFF pc years ago. I first installed Win7 and then I was going to install a Linux OS. I installed 8GB of ram, but the BIOS was only reporting seeing 4GB. The computer ran OK with 4GB but I wasn't really inspired to move forward with doing anything more, since I was busy at that time. So nowadays I went ahead and just installed Linux and started from there. I thought that maybe either one of my memory cards was bad or one of the two memory slots were bad. I figured the first to do was find out which one it is. Since now my computer is running like crap. It ends up that both slots are good, as are both cards (2 x 4gb)! So I guess I have to update the BIOS. Hopefully then I'll have my 8GB of ram. The problem is that I'm not finding anything with the number above.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can update my BIOS?
(Hopefully this is the right forum for this. If not, let me know and I'll remedy it.)
