Consider using msconfig.exe or searching for 'system configuration' in the task bar. Click the 'Advance option' button on the Boot tab and ensure Maximum memory is unchecked. Note: The MSConfig tool may not be functional, and some motherboard configurations could restrict available RAM.
Sure, I'll go through each stick one by one to check for any problems or poor contact.
I support what @Kilrah mentioned; even oxidation might happen between contacts. Try using a soft cloth to clean the contact points on modules, or use a dry finger to remove any dust. If dust is present, blow it away gently.
