Build is
AMD Ryzen7 1800x
Asus Crosshair VI Hero (most recent bios)
Gskill Flare X 16gb 3200 Ram

when i put the ram in dual channel it says i have 16 gbs of ram but 8.1 of it is hardware reserved i have tried several of the things on here including remounting cpu...taking the ram out and putting it back in....fresh start of windows....the msconfig thing which was already unchecked ..... also tried it in 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 same thing..... im starting to think maybe theres a busted pin or w.e on the cpu but like i said it says i have 16gbs with 8.1 reserved and when i run it in single channel i get all 16 but at 1866instead of 2400+

Although you should be on Windows 10, I'm wondering if you're on a previous version of Microsoft's OS...? Which slots do you have you ram populated? I assume you're on the new BIOS which contains the AGESA update. Have you tried reinstalling your OS after ruling out that the installer isn't corrupt?
