I recently installed a 4gb ram module into my computer, i now should have 12gb (2x4gb + 4x1gb) and my computer says i only have 10gb of ram. The weird thing however is that my motherboard's maximum ram is 12gb (intel x58 motherboard) so this should work in theory. The ram is connected proplery since a program called RAMMon sees all my ram modules (http://puu.sh/d6x6N/3aa5439036.png). It says that my total ram is 10gb even though it says behind it between brackets that it's 12gb as you can see in the image.

I have no clue what this can be, and i tried pretty much everything to get this working and hope maybe someone does.

But why is that the only usable memory? What limits this? My motherboard supports up to 12gb and i can't think of any other factors that limit the amount of ram.
