Problem with identifying Windows RAM capacity Issue in detecting system memory usage
Noted iced coffee was a no-go. Go ahead and test what you found and share your results.
Memtest only showed 8GB of RAM, which doesn't match what CPU-Z and BIOS said. I plan to install the MSI motherboard software and keep working on it later.
It's odd how BIOS recognizes it while other tools don't. Windows and memory testing aren't working—could your software be outdated or misconfigured? Also, are you using a Linux environment? Have you checked if the RAM was properly seated and tested individually?
It's fascinating how both sticks allow access to the windows! I'm hoping this is just a minor installation glitch rather than a more serious hardware problem.
Yes, you can use a bootable USB to install or update your system.
