Ok so out of nowhere I'm getting "not enough memory" errors in windows 10 while gaming. So I go to system and it says "Installed Memory(RAM) 16gb (7.96gb usable)" and if I open task manager and go to Resource Monitor it says I have 8gb "hardware reserved". I tried the msconfig fix(maximum memory is unchecked). I tried the regedit fix(set "clearpagefileatshutdown" to 1 and shutdown/restart). I tried switching the module orientation and switched to a different channel and got the same. I tried reseating the processor, all pins look good. I'm dealing with 2x8gb. If I take one out, one will boot the computer with 8gb ram, and the other won't boot at all.
The strange thing is that the bios tells me I have 16gb of ram installed, but memtest86 will only test 8gb. I suspect that one of my modules is bad, just haven't seen one go bad in such a strange way before. I know in the past it worked and just said "Installed Memory(RAM) 16gb" in windows system. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thinking of trying to RMA the ram currently because I'm all out of ideas...
