Hi there. The issue is unbelievable. I built this pc 2 weeks ago with brand-new components. I've been using it with 16 gb of ram since I've built it.

But recently, the physical memory turns to 8 gb, WHILE USING WINDOWS-GAMING-BROWSING.

All the cables and other components are O.K. Sticks' rgb lights are working. Windows memory diagnostics showed no errors. Mem86 is running r8 now. I'll keep y'all updated. Thanks in advance 🙏🏿❤

GIGABYTE b450m s2h
MSI ventus rtx 2060
Kingston a2000 500gb nvme
Wd 160 gb blue hdd 3.5"
r5 1600 12nm
Corsair Spec delta rgb 550w 80+ case

MEMORY STICKS: 8*2 2933 MHZ Hyperx predator rgb cl15

Edit: I found out that my memory product is not listed in the motherboard's support list. Before buying a supported sticks, I'll try formatting windows if the issue continues. The bios is up to date. Windows is updated. All drivers are up to date. Memtest have been running for more than 2 hours. Found no errors. Still running.
