Hi,

I recently found out, that my Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from Win8.1 Pro, I checked - my Win10 IS a Pro Edition) only sees 16GB of my 32GB RAM. When I go to Task Manager->Performance, it tells me that only 2 of 4 RAM slots are avaiable, even though all 4 slots are filled with RAM. I also checked the RAM-Sticks with Memtest86+, there are no errors. Memtest86+, the BIOS & my Linux Mint recognizes 32GB.

My Specs:
* CPU: AMD FX-8150
* Motherboard: Asus m5a97
* OS: Windows 10 Pro
* GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 680
* RAM: (2x) Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz 16GB Kit (2x8GB)

I don't think you'd need the Fans, my SSD's & HDD.

Thanks a lot for your help guys!


PS: I already checked the limit option in msconfig, it is disabled

Did all of the DRAM come in a single package? If not may not be compatible with each other (and yes even if the same exact model), might need a BIOS update, might try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05 and also set the CPU/NB voltage to 1.25
