I have 4gb of ram and one day i got bored so i opened up my pc and the houses pc and i tried replacing between the rams, at the time i didn't really understand about inserting rams and different ram sizes but when i put the other pc' ram it didn't really fit and i tried pushing it down with hops it will fit, only one of the clips closed so i figured it was ok, same happened with my ram in my houses pc. So i decided to put them back in their places but when i did and i ran my pc it showed that now there are only 2gb of ram usable in my pc... Why ? (I have an Intel HD graphics system, but it only took 640mb...)
 
Solution
May be because the second RAM didn't fit perfectly into the slot. Both of the clips should be closed.
Also check if you haven't switched the RAM between the PCs.
