So I have an 8 GB Ram Card and a different 4 GB Card. They have always worked together just fine but recently I noticed that now windows says there is only 4 GB usable of 12GB. I've tried to solve it but can not figure it out. In my BIOS and in HWwin it shows both cards but Windows only shows 4GB to be usable and I've tried many things but need help and suggestions.

If you notice anything out of order or something that might be causing the issue or might need to be changed please let me know. Anything could help!!

and full system spec?

I have already done that.

GPU: Asus GTX 1060 6GB

The Ram Sticks are cheap sorta knock offs but they both have always worked fine together until recently.
8GB

The 4GB. (Not the exact one but one like it just a cheap generic one)

But like I said they have both always worked fine. But it is the 8GB that is detected but not working.

Well It just randomly worked just kept switching the 8gb and trying to boot it by its self and it wouldn't but then I didn't it one last time and it booted up. I left the 4gb stick out for now but the 8GB is working again. Not sure what exactly I did tbh...
