My BIOS picks up on 2 memory sticks. But the second is not being used or found even in Bios too. I can see both sticks of ram are installed, but the current DRawM size is : 8192, instead of arround 16k

In windows, the ram usage says: 7.95/16gb (usable)
I am missing out on 8gb of ram but I cannnot seem to find where I am losing it. Any suggestions on how to to pick up on that second stick of ram?

  • Have you installed both modules as per the motherboard manual?
  • Are the modules from the same physical pack (not bought separately)?
  • Have you reset CMOS after installing the RAM?
  • Following those, have you tried each RAM module individually in the different slots?

I also tried to update Bios and now it looks like this: https://ibb.co/jk1Tqwp
I might have selected the wrong BIOS tho in the update

Update: My motherboard is the broken thing I’m pretty sure, tried to run just A2 and it would not work. So the A2 slot must be broken, not sure why it would pick up as 16gb ram total tho
