Okay.That motherboard, on the Gigabyte web site, supports 8GB RAM (whilst I believe that is still nowhere near enough RAM, and, I believe that it is a stupid limit on the RAM capacity, for a motherboard that supports an i7 CPU).
See https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H55M-S2H-rev-10/sp#sp "Memory2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2200+/1800/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
* To reach DDR3 2200 MHz and above, you are required to use with Intel
Core i7/Core i5 CPU without HD Graphics and install a discrete graphics
card.
When using Intel Core i5/Core i3/ Pentium CPU with HD Graphics, the
maximum memory speed supported is 1666 MHz
* Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list." .. Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) ..............
