Hey,
So i've been through some post here and other places about this problem but i haven't still been able to fix it.
I have 16GB ram but in the task managers 8GB is reserved, also says in the system 16GB installed (8GB usable).
I've tried the msconfig maximum memory thing and it doesn't work.
Have tried the virtual memory set to custom/system managed size/no paging file and none worked.
Have restored the bios to default and didn't work.
Removed the ram sticks and cleaned the dust from both the sticks and the slots still didn't work.
Tried changing slots and didn't work.
Tried placing both sticks individually on the same slot (tried slots 1/3) and they both were working (both times the computer turned on with 8 gb).
Tried using 1 stick of a different ram (1 stick of the new and 1 stick of the old) and it was still the same (16gb installed and 8gb reserved).
Factory resetted windows and still nothing.
Now the one thing i haven't seen on other posts yet is, sometimes the 16gb ram is usable but then i restart the computer and it turns to 8gb usable (yesterday I restarted the computer a lot and some times it would come up with 16gb usable and others with 8gb usable still 16gb installed).
Now i don't know if it's related to this but prior to this problem i was having some bluescreens related to System32 corrupted files but fixed it with some windows recoveries (I have already factory reset windows after this problem to try to fix the ram thing so it could not be this).
My pc specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
