I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this issue and how to fix it.
My PC recognizes that there is indeed 16GB installed RAM, but only says that half of it, 7.93GB is usable.
My motherboard is ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard.
My RAM is G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory.
I've checked and my BIOS is updated to the latest version (3.60).
I've tried multiple methods to try and resolve this:
System Config Boot Menu making sure the maximum is uncapped, I even tried having it capped at the max of 16,384MB that didn't work either.
I tried Advanced System Settings and unchecking 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives' and checking 'No paging file', didn't work
My RAM sticks are in slots 2/4 (A2, B2) as specified by the manual, I tried switching to 1/3 that didn't work either. I tried one at a time, putting a stick in slot 2, booting, and it said 8 GB available/usable, shut down, put the 2nd stick in slot 4, rebooted, and was back to 16GB, 8GB usable.
If anything else is needed, here is the build.
