Earlier this week I booted up my G5 Quad to find only 12 of my 16GB Memory was showing up. I've had 16GB working without issue for 1-2 years now. DIMMs 4 & 5 were showing up empty despite that not being true. Haven't had to go fiddling inside for a long time so I'm surprised anything changed.
Today I decided to fix it so I shut down and reseated every DIMM for good measure. But when I booted up afterward I noticed only 4GB total was showing up! Now only DIMMs 2 & 3 appear in system profiler with all others marked empty. Hoping there isn't damage to the DIMM slots...
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Do I need to fire up open firmware and do a reset?
