did you put the ram into colour coded slots? its possible one stick isn't being seen if you didn't. Judging by motherboard manual you should use the blue coloured slots

you said you have " 2psc Vengeance® Low Profile — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit "
so it will normally be 2 sticks of 4GB each.
what your PC shows is correct 4GB each of the 2 sticks equals 8GB.

Ok mabe I don't understand somthing 1 stick is 2x4gb total 8gb so 2 sticks would be 2x4+2×4=16gb

Anyway i will try give more information when i get home from work.

wonder what they thought they should have:

Package contents

2 x 4GB memory modules

I assumed they were only seeing 1 dimm

no, 1 stick = 4gb total. not 8gb. the 8gb on the pack is 2 x 4gb sticks

if you wanted 16gb you needed to buy this kit: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-low-profile-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml16gx3m2a1600c10
