Hi everyone,
since i installed a new CPU into my computer and did a fresh install of Windows 10 64-bit, suddenly 8GB of ram are hardware reserved. With my old CPU Windows showed all 16GB as usable.

Hardware info:
CPU: AMD FX-8370
MB: ASRock 970 Extreme 4
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (from Gigabyte)
RAM: 2x4GB Kingston Hyper Blu 1600MHz DDR3, 2x4GB Kingston (dont remember the model) 1600MHz DDR3.

I already tried slot swapping, changing memory in msconfig -> boot, Did a fresh install of Windows and also updated BIOS, that only caused my PC to not want to reboot after pushing reboot through windows.
If anyone has any idea or need any more information please contact me, thank you.

Try removing one ram stick and power on the PC. Mixing different set of ram can cause this issues as it wont be able to work together. List down the specs of both the RAM's.

Good Luck.:) Peace.
