Check if the memory read on windows is capped or not.
If you don't know how to do it, press windows + R , then type "msconfig"

you will find this menu :

select "advanced option", then uncheck the maximum memory

Check your MB's manual, RAM should most probably be in A2 and B2 slots but you have them in A1 and B1.
