Thanks for helping me on my problem.

i have 8gb of ram, 2 sticks of 4gb. around 1 week ago i had 8gb out of 8gb, so i had no problem playing games, but now i got 3.90 out of 8gb, I dont know why. But my performance obviously went down so this is a big problem, i can barely multitask when i have a game running on the background, even the windows search lags. ive already tried this msconfig thing everyone is saying, uncheck the max memory... and also i tried changing the ram slots. But it did not fixed it, it is frustrating because i can not do anything and i dont know what is going on with my ram please help.
 
Solution
nevermind i just took both ram sticks out and placed one first, powered my pc, turned it off, then placed the other stick, power it on, and all the ram was there. Thanks anyways

is it showing like you have 8gb ram and only 3 usable? when that happens it means that your pc has no internal vram so it eatsup all your ram to use as vram or can be a bad config btw check if you didnt disable your graphics card so its using your ram instead(it may explain your decrease) or your vram not responding
