Windows only reading half my ram

My computer is only reading about half my ram. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit with 16gb of ram installed. I have looked on the forums and tried everything I could find so far, but nothing works. It is saying that I have 16 gb installed, but 8223 MB are hardware reserved. I have a Radeon 5450 with 1gb of dedicated memory, so it really should not be taking that much from it.

I read that VMware could have impacted this, so I have uninstalled it and still no joy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The computer came with 16gb, but about 6 months ago I noticed the problem. It used to have all the ram available, but now it doesn't. And it's very annoying.
