So I was having this problem where my ram is only using 4GB Ram out of using 8GB of ram sticks I have installed, I was able to get this fixed by remounting my cpu, but a few days later the problem came back and I do not want to keep remounting my cpu just to fix this problem. So I want to know a solution to this, before I remounted my cpu I found thermal paste in the socket and then cleaned it.

I also had this problem in the past where my ram wasn't being used at all and it took reinstalling my os, that doesn't work anymore as I already tried it. I also tried msconfig and maximum memory was already unchecked. By now I tried everything I could up to even sending tickets to my manufacturer and microsoft, they were not able to solve it. For me when I checked my system information and it said that Ram: 8GB (4GB Usable) as specific as it gets.
 
Solution
I used to have the same issue, my ram was dying... Same CPU, Mobo. I would try getting another stick and seeing if it does the same thing. And I also remounted the CPU and then it would work, like I said just get a new stick and try. Sorry bro.

As I figured one of my ram wasn't working, but it was working a 1 month ago where I tested both in the same slots and both of them function fine but I still had 8GB(4GB Usable) as in windows 10 system info. So I am getting a different kind of ram stick that doesn't need dual channeling in my pc if that works.
