so ive had this computer for about a year and it has done most everything i wanted it to do so far but it has had an issue that ive been trying to fix since i got it. i have 6 gigs overall RAM but when i go to system in control panel or anywhere else it tells me that only 3.12 gigs is usable. ive been ripping my hair out trying to make it work but nothing so far. any help is very welcome.
my speccs are:

and my RAM is two OCZ and one micron technology(couldnt find specific names and they are all quite old)
 
yes it is for sure 64 bit and if i take any of them out the computer crashes
and all these specs are directly from Speccy

go into your bios & disable your onboard video if you are using a separate videocard which I think that radeon hd 7800 is. in this link which has a picture of your board, which color slots are the ozc & micron in? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5W_DH_Deluxe/
 
both OCZ are in the orange slots on my motherboard and the Micron is between those in the black slot. tried takeing the OCZ reseting CMOS and switching the OCZ's but still the same issue.
