Hey everyone! I have ran into an issue with my RAM, yesterday I installed an extra 8GB of DDR4 3000 Mhz RAM, it is Corsair Vengeance.
So, I was looking through the BIOS and wondered what the problem may be, it showed me 8GB's but under that is showed what DIMM slots that were being used up and through DIMM 1 to 4 It said 4GB's on each Slot, so I skimmed through my BIOS setting trying to figure out what may be the problem, perhaps a setting that I never noticed that I could easily just uncheck, but to no avail, I found nothing, so I went onto Windows and looked on task manager at the top it says 16GB, but underneath that it says 8GB and that is what my system is currently using, I looked all around the Internet for help but nothing has worked, maybe I never looked hard enough but if someone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
I will post my specs down below.

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 Six Core, 12 Threads 3.2ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000mhz Corsair Vengeance
