I've been having a problem with the RAM for my PC for a while now, and I've searched all over the internet for a solution, with no results. I have 8gb of RAM installed with only 3.48gb usable. I have made no changes to the computer yet except for the operating system, which I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.This is what I see in my system information, but I can't see why I wouldn't be able to use a little more. Anybody have any ideas? I'm thinking of upgrading to 16gb, after which, I will add a better power supply and graphics card, but I don't see any point if I can't even use more than half my RAM.

Solution
Give us the details of the RAM sticks (Brand, part number, speed, timing, voltages, etc). Also, in which slots you've plugged in the sticks?

I prolly should have deleted this last week. I have added a new graphics card, power supply, and RAM, so it is no longer a problem. :)
