Your CPU is going to reserve some RAM for the video built-into the CPU. You may be able to limit how much in the BIOS. 2GB for video is a little much but not totally unreasonable.

Do you have a discrete graphics card ?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from MjTheGamer : "6gb usable out of 8gb of ram!"

So I just figured out I can only use 6gb and Idk if it really matters but help me fix it.
Pc specs:
Gtx 1050 ti 4gb
Intel g4560
1x8 gb 2400 MHz

maybe it was allocated/reserved by the system. but as long as in bios it shows correct size then no problem. check again the settings/configuration

I will solve it.

im pretty sure it might be windows ram allocation. have you tried checking it in msconfig? to run msconfig here what you need to do: 1.windows+r, 2.type msconfig, then press ok/ hit enter, 3.go to boot section, 4. click advanced options. try to tick the maximum ram and enter the amount of ram you have installed, dont forget to apply all settings. ask me if it is not working

If anyone is still having such an issue.

I had the same issue, i started noticing frame drops and lags in my games, that's when i checked that the available RAM had dropped down to 5.9 GB from 7.4( usually this much is available out of 8 gigs).

Fix :

I booted into my BIOS and disabled hardware VX and booted the OS.
It worked.

My Laptop: ASUS TUF FX-505 GD

Please, let's not necro threads for the purpose of noting something which isn't even quite obviously the same problem; there are a lot of reasons to not have all the RAM available.
