I’m going to use half of your memory settings, maybe that’s not working properly, the speed might be wrong, or there could be an issue with your motherboard. Turn off your device, touch the power supply unit, switch it off if it has a switch or unplug it. Take out your memory card and verify it matches the specifications—same color, shape, and crucially, the same serial numbers. Reinsert it carefully, making sure it’s properly seated. Put it back in, restart your system, and see if the issue resolves. If it persists, we’ll check for faulty memory modules.

Didn't adjust any options in msconfig? If so, restoring the RAM configuration might free up memory even when it's fully allocated.

Thanks for the assistance! I haven’t adjusted any settings or changed my machine. Just turned it on today to check what others mentioned—it now shows 16GB? That could mean it’s working properly. I’ll have to wait and see if it remains that way. By the way, I ran a memory diagnostic yesterday and it flagged an issue in the memory but didn’t provide further details.

I've noticed many "half my RAM is gone" updates lately. The link you shared discusses AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs and memory suggestions, but it might not work with four slots at top speeds. Uncertain about that.
