So i just bought a bunch of new computer parts including ram, motherboard and a cpu, as well as i installed a fresh windows 10 pro. But when i checked my ram it was 8 out of 16gb, the other 8 being "hardware reserved". Now i don't know what causes this but i switched around with my sticks and eventually got 16gbs for a limited time, then it returned to 8gb later on. i reinstalled windows yet again, same result. I tried switching up the sticks yet again, trying different amount of sticks(i have 4x4gb) i eventually managed to get 8gb with 2 sticks, no hardware reserved which i found strange. All the sticks are the same so it shouldn't be an ordering problem, yet somehow it seems to be(?) My brother mentioned it could be a support problem, but i'm not sure.

OS: windows 10 pro

Memory: 16gb ddr4 2666 udimm 1.2v kit ballistix crucial
