Sorry I did not say, This is an ASUS AMD FX Laptop. 8 Gb of RAM is Non-removable. "built into" the system board.
There is 1 (one) slot for additional RAM. I first tried Centon (Brand) RAM, DDR4-2133. (Sames specs as Built in RAM)
I just now tried G-Skill DDR4-2133 with the same results...
I only have 1 RAM Slot, 8 Gb built in, 8 Bb installed. My user installed RAM ONLY shows up as virtual RAM. Have reseated the DIMM. Have tried a 2nd brand name of RAM with the same specs.
Only 8 Gb shows as RAM in Task Manager, as well. (8 Gb built in + 8 Gb user installed)
CPU-Z shows all the...
how do I attach screen shots? I have screen shots

The built in Module CPU-Z labels ''RAM'' the installed module CPU-Z labels SPD, CPU-Z also has blanks for 3 more RAM modules, which this PC does not have. What does that indicate??
I have taken out and reinstalled the Dimm a couple of times. No change.
My question remains: why does CPU-Z show the RAM as a functioning SPD, but Windows System and BIOS do not show the installed RAM??
Thanks
