hi
This is my setup :
OS: windows ultimate 64-Bit
CPU: intel i7-870
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4
graphics card: Gigabyte GTX 580 Super Overclock (dual BIOS)
RAM: 4 x 2GB A-Data gaming series 1600Mhz
My pc is 3 years old and i have this problem for over a year now
this is my problem :
When my pc boots there is only 8183Mb of memory then if i check my BIOS it says total memory 8192Mb total and extended memory 8183Mb. Then i check my DIMM's in the bios and all of them are 2048Mb. after booting windows aprox. 10-20 minutes(sometimes it takes hours) later my pc freezes or gives a BSOD(page not found). I need to manualy reboot him and then there is only 4086Mb of memory available(after this he never freezes again). if the pc is powered off for a day it goes back to the 8183Mb of Ram and freezes again.also sometimes it happens that my BIOS of my GPU is corrupted then i need to switch the BIOS and switch back to repair it. i can also happen that when my pc is at 8Gb of ram he freezes inside the BIOS screen. Now i installed windows 8.1 on the pc and now he freezes when loading windows and when he's loading the recovery cd (so i cant access windows settings).
edit: when the pc freezes it doesnt matter if i'm working on it or not.
Things i tried for fixing it.
so what could be the problem? is it possible that my motherboard or something else is broken ?
thanks for the help
greets

Things i tried for fixing it.
-Memtest of each DIMM separately and in tests in pairs (each test was running for 4-5 hours).
-Flashed BIOS(motherboard) to latest version.
-Let the ram run at 1333Mhz.
-Checked the memory of my GPU.

i took some pictures of the BIOS of the channels and it seems that the bios blocks out channel 3 and 4 when he drops the 4GB.
