I've got a 4x8 RAM setup, yet Windows and BIOS show only 16GB.

Consider reinstalling the RAM. Try rearranging the slots, testing each stick individually to confirm it boots. It could be a controller problem instead—unexpected that they appear but don’t work.

Erase the CMOS, reinstall RAM.

Sure, I'll proceed with reseating and clearing the CMOS.

I've updated the BIOS, but nothing changed. I'll try reseating and clearing it again.

I rearranged them and cleared the CMOS using a screwdriver. Now it displays just 8GB of RAM, wow!
