I am running 8 GB of ddr3 memory, while it does say 2 slots are in use, it only can use 4 GB of ram because 4 GB of hardware reserved memory. I have tried msconfig, it is not my board because it was working fine earlier, yet it's still using 4 GB for hardware. I apologize for my attitude, it's really stressful.

I wasn't getting any beeps, and my motherboard was putting out light, so I reseated everything, checked the cpu and it was all fine. For some reason, I switched my memory to slot 1 and 4, and everything finally worked. CPU-Z says it's now in dual channel, but still is running at 667 mhz in windows task manager.

Yeah, I don't know why this all happened, but when I put it in the first blue and the second black, it works at 8gb in dual channel, yet still at 667 mhz which is fine, I'm going to upgrade the ram soon enough.
