Hello, your Crucial ballistrix stick is working with your current RAM setup, but the PC lists only 16GB usable. It seems the two sticks weren’t paired correctly. You might want to return the last unit or try a different configuration. Let me know if you need help with that. Thanks!

Always match the same RAM brand and model during installation or upgrades. I suggest sending back the kit and purchasing another 2x4GB unit from the original ADATA package.

Check the installation sequence before you proceed. Are the various modules arranged in a consistent pattern, such as Adata first, then Ballistix, followed by another Adata and concluding with the final Ballistix? This should generally be fine if the system boots properly, though different brands may require alternating sets for optimal performance.

The chips might have come from various makers and simply won't cooperate as a team.

It's definitely feasible, though with today's memory controllers such setups are uncommon. If you're aiming for a dual-channel configuration with other brands, it's far more probable. Worth considering if that's the approach the OP is taking.

I chose another brand instead since the original model wasn't available.

Consider @St. Nick's concept and rearrange the positions of the DIMMs.

It also displays them in BIOS and CPU-Z. However, when I open This PC it lists 16GB (usable 7.5).

They are arranged in pairs, perhaps I could attempt to exchange them.

Are you wondering if your system has a built-in graphics chip? If not, it often means the computer won’t start properly or fails to recognize RAM in BIOS. Typically, you’ll just notice warnings like “only part of your RAM is usable” when memory is assigned to an integrated graphics card or when using a Windows version that doesn’t support your RAM capacity.
