Hey guys!

When I bought my computer I had 8 GB of RAM (2x4GB). Since I needed more and my mobo has 4 slots, I bought an additional 16 (2x8GB). When I installed it over a year ago, I started my PC and was pleased to see that it displayed 24 GB of RAM. Today, out of curiosity, I checked again and now it says I only have 16. I opened my computer, everything seems normal. I tried swapping the RAM to different slots, it didn't change anything. Is it possible that my two 4GB modules just randomly stopped working?

Thanks!
