Yep.

I cleared CMOS and it was still showing correct date and time? Maybe my MOBO is fucked. I'm going to contact ASRock.

I'll try that. If it doesn't work I'm probably just going to buy more ram so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I tried updating to the newest recommended after i found this problem. Nothing changed for me. CPU-Z is detecting both sticks, bios is detecting both sticks, windows is but it is saying 8.1gb is hardware reserved. Edit: I've tested both sticks individually on all four slots and they both work. As far as I can tell my hardware is perfectly fine. I don't know what to do but clearly it's going to affect gaming significantly.

Also I've already tried posting this on r/techsupport on reddit but I got the msconfig and the, "Are you seating it in the dimm 2 and 4 slots?" question over and over.

Specs: Motherboard: ASRock B450M Steel Legend CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 GPU: RX580 8gb RAM: 2x8gb Corsair Vengeance 2400mhz Powersupply: 650W Bronze So I'd like to preface this by saying that I've tried all of the usual troubleshooting methods such as msconfig and windows memory diagnostic tool, as well asregedit and seeing if my RAM was just seated incorrectly. None of these helped and I'm pulling my hair out. My computer definitely detects both sticks of ram, bios included. Apparently over half of my ram is "Hardware Reserved". Pic Related:
