Hello... 1) Are you running a 32bit or 64 bit OS?
2) Can you post a img of Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System screen for us?
3) Can you post a img of the Task Manager/performance tab?
4) What is your Pagefile.sys set at?

Hello... Virtual memory (Pagefile) Control panel/system/advanced system settings/advanced/performance/advanced/virtual memory.
Well you have the right OS to use it... and the OS detects it... but it's having problems using it?
5) well it is possible to read and detect the RAM but not have electrical access to it... I would suggest cleaning your Ram sticks gold contacts with some rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab... and then re-inserting them. There are a lot small electrical contacts there that need to be made there.
6) I would suggest re-testing your OS apps using just 2 sticks of ram, and see if one of the 4 sticks paired with another has the communication problem you are seeing... Or does not. Labeling the sticks #1-4 will help you keep track of the different "paired" combinations.
7) Are all the 4 sticks identical brands models or specs?
