hey all. I’ve tried different ram, a different windows version, I’ve messed around in bios and updated it as well. How can i get my pc to register the rest of my ram??

-cross posting-

What other hardware do you have installed in your system?

Can you take a screenshot of the Memory tab of Resource Manager?

It looks like the BIOS is reserving the memory for something. Reserving memory is pretty normal, but 8 GB isn’t. Have you tried resetting your bios to default settings.
