Your PC with 16 GB DDR3 is experiencing strange performance problems. After checking, Windows and tools like Speccy only show 8 GB available. It might not be just a faulty module—could there be another issue affecting detection?

It might be possible that dual memory was somehow disabled.

Refresh the memory. If it remains unresponsive, the issue likely lies with the RAM, board, or CPU. Additional testing would be necessary. Begin by checking each stick in slot 1. If both function correctly, the RAM can be excluded. The process becomes more intricate afterward. There could be a faulty RAM channel on the CPU or a logic board malfunction.
