[SOLVED] Windows underutilizing RAM

[jaja714]

When examining memory utilization on my PC, it plateaus out 5gb and 7gb out of 32. I cannot work with large spreadsheets and playing music sometimes yields crackling audio. Overall, the system is slower than the specs (see below) would indicate.

Windows is detecting all four 8gb sticks for a total of 32gb. I've booted with each RAM individually and they all check out fine. I've run Windows Memory Diagnostics for hours but, when finished, the results never appear in the Event Log. I've tried MemTestx86 but the bootable USB doesn't boot no matter how I configure bios.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

We're currently on version 20H2 for Windows 10. You might also want to see which BIOS version you're currently on for your motherboard. Can you specify how the ram is loaded out in your ram slots on the motherboard?

BIOS is current. RAM is in A1/B1/C1/D1.
