I've been working to get the full 16GB RAM functioning, but it only shows up as 8. I attempted fixes and thought I'd resolved it, yet it always returns to 8. After resetting the PC and reinserting the RAM, I still face issues. Games keep crashing, and before they sometimes worked fine, my PC would frequently restart. Now it only uses 8GB instead of the full 16, making gameplay impossible. To clarify, how can I get the complete 16GB? Are there settings in the games—like FPS—that might be causing these problems? Also, I noticed my PC was previously unstable, restarting often, but this only started a few months ago. I recently swapped out my SSD and HDD a couple of weeks back. Is this related to a power supply issue? Are there other components that need checking? I’m struggling with both the RAM and overall PC performance.

The rams should be positioned at A2 and B2. Alternatives include A1, B1, or A1, B2. This setup disables dual channel but should function properly.

remember: you also turned off XMP, which can slow down your memory performance

You’re checking your RAM setup in A2 and B2, confirming the XMP settings. Yes, both RAM sticks are present. The values you’re using seem correct based on your configuration. Windows is showing only 8GB, which might be due to system settings or a misconfiguration—double-check your RAM type and capacity.

Use unlink mode during advanced dram setup. These settings differ and won’t function in dual anyway. Then position them in B1 + B2 for testing.

They are identical 8GB RAM units. However, I noticed differences in the value. I’ll give it another shot.

This feature supports various pairings, not just individual sticks. Test it in the B1+B2 or A1+A2 sections.

I’m uncertain about what occurred. My bios now show 16000 memory, but in my system it displays 16. It seems the computer automatically corrected itself—I changed the XMP setting to 2. I couldn’t locate the unlink.

Memory usage can vary widely depending on the game and system. High memory isn't always bad, but it might cause crashes if it exceeds available resources.

It seems the display isn’t showing and your computer keeps shutting off. I’m curious if it’s due to too many devices connected or insufficient power supply. My PC has been turned on, but it doesn’t run smoothly—games freeze quickly.
