I have 6 GB RAM (2x4) connected but only 1.95 GB RAM is read, I watched tutorials on Youtube but none of them worked. I run a Windows 10 64bit.

2 x 4gb = 8gb, btw, not 6gb.

Try running memtesst86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 8 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors.

Win 10 more sensitive to errors with ram so it might have found problems with 1 stick.. now that other total, where is it showing that?

can you search for "System Information" in cortana
choose the desktop app
in file menu, choose export
this lets you save a file with all the info on that screen as a text file.
Upload the file to a file sharing site and share a link here

what shows on the memory tab of task manager/Performance
How much is hardware reserved?
