You have 16GB of RAM but only 8GB is being used. The issue might be related to how the operating system manages memory, not the hardware itself. Check Task Manager for details on what's being reserved—look for hardware limits or specific processes. You can also use the System Properties window to see which components are using the most memory and adjust settings if needed.
Tell me about your processor and graphics card. Are you using any advanced storage solutions or SSD tools such as Samsung Magician? Your remaining 8GB might be serving as temporary space for another program. If you're unsure, check your BIOS settings—some built-in display options let you adjust RAM allocation for video.
