No, Not at all a few things can explain this... cmos, installed hardware/software, the capabilites of your motherboard, the bios, etc etc. The comment about static damage doesnt really relate.

Your OS is reserving some memory for specific tasks. Dont worry about it its normal. If you clear you cmos in the bios you will probably go back to 8 gb ram but its really nothing to worry about!
