I've noticed today that my pc is only using 24 gigs of ram out of the 32 I have installed. It would always use the 32 from before so maybe the ram went bad possibly? Another issue I'm having is when I turn my computer on it doesn't show up on the display. So I have to turn off and on my computer multiple times.

If you think one of your RAM sticks has gone bad, you can always run Memtest86; however with 32 gigs of RAM it will take quite a while to test. You can always remove some of the other working RAM to speed up the process.

I was actually thinking about trying that but does it wipe out my hard drive? I mean I have 4 separate hard drives so I guess it wouldn't matter.

No, it only runs in RAM; the hard drives will be fine.
