12gb installed 7.96 usable

yes it's another one of these, I have read through somewhere between 10-15 articles and forums, trying to find a fix, I've checked the bios where it say I have a total memory of 12288mb, all running at 804mhz coz I've turned it down to see if that helped, it didn't fyi, I've tried the msconfig settings to no avail, got told not to touch the virtual memory settings, getting kind of annoyed now as I was going to be replacing all the ram in my system with a 16gb corsair vengeance pack next week, not sure there is much point now though, my mobo is a gigabyte 990xa-ud3.

just an update, tried a fix I found that involves changing the number of cores windows uses, caused me to blue screen for the last hour

I just bought a set of corsair vengeance after payday, think there is something not right though, not getting 14.7 out of 16 gb

Where is it showing this, good chance you are sharing DRAM with the video card? Might also be 16GB and 14.7 USABLE indicating the OS is using the remainder (and other apps)

this happend to my computer twice. both times it got fixed randomly, what i find to work the best is re configuring your ram placement.
try switching the position of 2 of the same ammount. for instance, i switched the places of my 4gb ram sticks. then boot your pc up, if the display, keyboard or mouse doesnt turn on, thats fine. turn off your computer then put the sticks back into place. this fixed my issue.
