Question Hardware Reserved RAM

So, I’ve been scouring all around for a good day and a bit now with no sign of hope.

I have the classic issue of 16GB dual channel RAM that says exactly 8GB is “Hardware Reserved”

I’ve done all the thinkable fixes for it;

From unticking “maximum memory” in msconfig to loosening up my CPU fan.

And not to mention everything in between, there is 0 things I have tried that are yet to show any results in getting me full usage, and my pc just doesn’t run at all well on just the 8GB.

It’s driving me mad and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forums my friend!

Do you have latest BIOS installed?
Have you confirmed that one of the modules isn't faulty using memtest?
Are they modules from the same pack?
All of the above yes,

I’ve got the latest bios updated, I’ve ran memtest with no faults and also they’re identical ram from the same pack
