If you have 4 memory slots on your motherboard make sure that you have your RAM modules in the correct spots so that they can run in dual channel. They typically are color coded, however yours are not, so you will want to put both sticks in the dim1 and dim2 slots (should be labeled on the mobo).

Usually, when memory is listed as 2x4GB, that means you have two 4GB memory modules for a total of 8GB.
In your case, are you saying you only have one memory module installed? If so, it sounds like it is only a single 4GB memory module.

Sorry, thats just what was on the label of the stick, I only have one physical stick that has "8 gig (2x4gig) 1600 MHz 1.50V ver 2.12" on its stickers.
Not sure which set of numbers is the part number,
I think this is the one
"CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9"

There should be 2 sticks of memory that make up the pair under that part number.

Since you only have one of them installed, you only have 4GB of memory. Did you install yourself, or did someone do for you? Where did you get this memory from?
