You're facing an issue where your two 8G DDR4 modules are being treated as reserved, and your BIOS shows you're using single-channel memory. This can happen if the system isn't recognizing the full capacity of your RAM. Since your motherboard only has two slots, it's likely limited to a dual-channel setup. You may need to check the RAM installation method—ensure both sticks are seated properly and that they're not damaged. If possible, try removing one stick at a time to see if the issue resolves. Consult your motherboard manual or manufacturer support for guidance on dual-channel configurations.
I've encountered the same issue again. I also captured some screenshots from the BIOS for extra details.
Walk through our troubleshooting process one step at a time. I’ll explain each action we’ve taken and any memory settings we’ve applied.
