After my pc froze i noticed that i only had 3.96 gig of ram availeble instead of my 8 gig in ram and my 2 x 4gig ram went from dual channel to single channel.

with resource monitor i found out that my 4 gig of mising ram was being used for hardware reserved.

and maximum memory in msconfig is not enabled.
