Recently I set up a PC and installed Windows 10. I checked everything and everything seemed fine, but when I opened Task Manager I noticed the RAM was using 16GB while only 8GB was actually available. The rest was reserved by the system. I wondered if the RAM wasn't installed correctly. I swapped one stick and turned it on in Windows—it worked normally. Then I tried with just the second stick, but the PC still wouldn’t boot. I changed the second stick to another slot and still couldn’t get it running. I’m confused about the BIOS settings showing 16GB RAM when there are only two sticks. Is one of them faulty? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My specs are: CPU - AMD Ryzen R7 2700X, motherboard - B450 Aorus Elite, GPU - GTX 1060, 6GB RAM, 2x teamgroup delta rgb, 8GB DDR4 3000 CL16. Sorry for the unclear English—I’m not native speaker.

It seems Windows 10 is becoming more autonomous, taking over tasks it once required manual input for. The era of direct user control is fading, except in server environments.

I recently switched to Windows 10 and had been struggling with a 7 error for a while. I didn’t want to give up, but trying it out hasn’t worked. This issue has never appeared on Windows 7 before—it’s new on Windows 10.
