Question Dropped from 16GB Ram to 8GB after removing and reinstalling GPU

Dell Precision T1500, Win 10 - I wanted to install a network card but realised that my PCIex slot was hidden by my GPU, I took the GPU (Nvidia 1050Ti) out to have a look and replaced it.

When I booted my machine back up, I only had 8GBs of RAM instead of the 16GB that I had previously. Running CPU-Z shows that 16GB of RAM is installed but the BIOS and Windows only see 8GB.

I have tried resting the CMOS and I have ran memory diagnostics, my bios was up-to-date and I did not change anything.

Thanks in advance
