AHH! Now I understand what you are looking at. That's the System Information window.
If you'll notice it says you have 8.00 GB of total memory. That's the amount of memory that your computer has available to it before it does anything.
Below that it tells you how much of that total is available to be used by programs that is not already being used by the operting system. In order for the operating system to do it's job it needs to use up some of the total memory. The Available memory is what's left. The available memory will change depending on what your computer is doing. If you run Internet Explorer and open up a buch of windows you will see your memory usage increase(available memory goes down) and when you close windows memory usage will decrease (available memory goes up). That's the operating system just doing it's job.
Your system is working perfectly fine and that memory usage is normal. Stop worrying about it.

Read those images carefully, very very carefully.
It says
Installed System memory 8.00 GB
Total System Memory 8.00 GB
Available System memory 5.61 GB
This is an accurate and correct statement, it registered that you had 8GB installed, but 2.39 GB is currently in use by windows and other applications, available memory only refers to non active memory, something could be cache on it but not in use or it could be entirely free, but any memory that is in active use by any running application doesn't count as available.
Your system is fine, your ram is fine and functioning properly.
Edit: Typing a bit slower than normal tonight
