What is your OS dukea88. 32 Bit or 64 Bit.?
32-bit versions of Windows have low memory limits. The maximum amount of RAM supported by a 32-bit version of Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP is 4 GB. if you have more than 4 GB of memory, you’ll need a 64-bit version of Windows to take advantage of it.

Use Memtest86 from a USB stick to verify your DIMMs as you may have a failing module.
Check the DIMM slots are free of contamination and modules are seated correctly.
Check your msconfig in Windows, go to boot, advanced and uncheck number of processors and maximum memory.
