I was running 16gb RAM, and decided to take an extra 8gb stick and add it to my PC for 24gb total. My system was running the 16gb fine, but when i add the extra 8gb it shows 24gb in my BIOS and when i get to Windows it shows that 8gb is reserved. Windows and my bios both see the 24gb, but i am seeing 8gb reserved.
I have checked online and scoured many sources, trying each step with no solution, other than removing the battery from my board and resetting it.
So, i confirmed that the new 8gb stick is compatible with my board on the QVL. This is the funny part. My new 8gb stick is on the list, but my 16gb are not. Weird?
In the end, i am wondering how my system is seeing the 24gb, is okay with all the RAM being there and can see them all, but still reserve 8gb?
asus 970 pro gaming
fx 8350
GTX 1060 6gb

16gb Patriot DDR3 1866
(trying to add 8gb Corsair DDR3 1600mhz)
I also tried to put the RAM in a different board and it had the same issue..... i have 3 mobos and none are liking this lol
