Installed RAM/Total Physical not matching

[Amaze904]

[/img]
Hello- I've been beating my head against the wall over this for sometime now and can not seem to come to a conclusion as to why this is happening.

Hardware;
Asus Crosshair Formula V
AMD 8350 FX
Patriot Viper Black edition 1866 x16 GB (x2 8GB)
7970 OC edition Gigabyte
1000W OCZ PSU

Windows 10 64bit

Ok; so whats going on is that I have 16 GB installed and windows acknowledges this- however it only reads 7.95 as total physical memory

Things I have tried;
MEMTEST64 - no errors
CHKDSK- no errors

Enabling Memory remapping in BIOS
Enable max memory in MSCONFIG

none of these things have fixed this issue and I have grown weary of what this could be.

I game alot on this computer and I believe this is root of some recent issues I have been experiencing; after about 20 minutes of gameplay- I drop from a solid 60+ fps to 0 momentarily and then it resumes- a simple reboot fixes this everytime- though after another 20 minutes or so I have to reboot again- this is where I seem to think RAM is causing the issue as it may not be enough being utilized? or is not dumping properly

Also, not sure if it is worth mentioning- but I have a paging file setup on another HDD at around 16GB

Thank you for any help with this- it is much appreciated

Are you putting the spaces before the / as error 87 generally means its not understanding the commands. Copy/paste what Rogue Leader is giving you.

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.0

Image Version: 10.0.14393.0


/Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions

WARNING! You should use the /RevertPendingActions option only in a
system-recovery scenario to perform recovery operations on a Windows image
that did not boot.

Example:
DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions

/Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded [/hidesp]
Use /SPSuperseded to remove any backup files created during the installation
of a service pack. Use /HideSP to prevent the service pack from being listed
in the Installed Updates for the operating system.

WARNING! The service pack cannot be uninstalled after the /SPSuperseded
operation is completed.

Example:
DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded /hidesp

/Cleanup-Image {/CheckHealth | /ScanHealth | /RestoreHealth}
Use /CheckHealth to check whether the image has been flagged as corrupted
by a failed process and whether the corruption can be repaired.
Use /ScanHealth to scan the image for component store corruption.
Use /RestoreHealth to scan the image for component store corruption, and
then perform repair operations automatically.
Use /Source with /RestoreHealth to specify the location of known good
versions of files that can be used for the repair. For more information on
specifying a source location, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.
Use /LimitAccess to prevent DISM from contacting WU/WSUS.

Example:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM.exe /Image:c:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
/Source:c:\test\mount

/Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup [/ResetBase [/Defer]]
Use /StartComponentCleanup to clean up the superseded components and reduce
the size of the component store. Use /ResetBase to reset the base of
superseded components, which can further reduce the component store size.
Use /Defer with /ResetBase to defer long-running cleanup operations to the
next automatic maintenance.

WARNING! The installed Windows Updates cannot be uninstalled after the
/StartComponentCleanup with /ResetBase operation is completed.

Example:
DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

/Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
Use /AnalyzeComponentStore to create a report of the WinSxS component store.
For more information about the WinSxS report and how to use the information
provided in the report, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=293367.

Example:
DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

that doesn't make sense, the command just worked. did you maybe type an extra space at the end by accident?

Make sure youre typing this not copy paste

 

[Colif]

At this stage I would just do a clean install. Something odd going on here

 

[Colif]

shouldnt need to type it all in again, think up/down arrows scroll through previous choices

 

[Amaze904]

I'm not making any extra space- i just typed each letter out and triple checked for extra anything
I'm not copy/pasting either

this monitor is about to get a hole through it in a sec

Calm down, don't need extra costs. Never seen DISM act like this before and if its this bad, a reset would probably not work either.

dism doesn't work well in safe mode - its even more restricted
