I've had this problem for a very long time and I would like to find the issue to it. So basically in my computer I have four 4GB sticks of RAM all the same type, however my computer only put half of that memory to use in the reserve. I tested to make sure it wasn't the RAM itself by taking each one out and testing them separately as well as each slot I could put them in. They all seem to work fine and the computer acknowledges that the RAM is indeed there. I've also tried to changing the maximum memory to both checked and unchecked which doesn't seem to help. Anyone know how to fix this?
