Update: I stole my partners ram and put 4 x 8gb in there and now it’s showing 16 GB available. Smh. So it seems something is reserving half of my ram. I reset bios to default. PLZ help lmaooooooooo

What happens if you put in 2 x 8gb? Play around a bit with where you put them. Just to be sure if it is half of your physical ram slots that don’t work or if the slots themselves are fine and the issue is further down the line
