Blank memory slot information in CPU-Z?
My ASUS laptop came with one 4GB memory stick and I recently added another 4GB to speed things up. There's no problem and everything works fine.
Now, I installed CPU-Z to check about my memory, but the readings are a little strange:
Here's what it shows in Memory tab:
But, in SPD, only the information about the first slot is displayed:
The second (and also the #3 and #4) looks like this:
Why isn't there any info about the other stick? Is there anything wrong with it?

@FrankThomas, that's it! It now shows the other stick at slot #3. (And strangely, the size of the memory is showing at exact 8 Gigabytes instead of 7982 MB). You can post it as an answer and I'll accept it. But can you tell me why it couldn't get the info in normal mode?

You need to right click on the CPU-Z icon and select 'Run As Administrator'.
[Click here for an image of the right-click menu.]
Then go to the Memory and SPD tabs and you will get your memory details.

Are you running the SETUP version? Same thing happened to me after I updated the program to the latest version (1.80.0 as today). I fixed mine by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Not sure if one can encounter this bug if using the portable (ZIP) version.

After more tests it seems like a bug in CPU-Z. When it doesn't show the first time from a fresh system start, a reboot will make it appear, regardless of having OC or no. Another reason to believe it is a bug is after running other system monitor programs such as HWiNFO or benchmark programs like 3DMark that scan system hardware, once blanked SPD info will appear without needing a reboot, just need to reopen CPU-Z.

@FrankThomas, that's it! It now shows the other stick at slot #3. (And strangely, the size of the memory is showing at exact 8 Gigabytes instead of 7982 MB). You can post it as an answer and I'll accept it. But can you tell me why it couldn't get the info in normal mode?
