Sounds like the wrong model of RAM or dead slot/s, mate.

What does it say in the BIOS?

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

I would ask if you're using a 32-bit version of Windows, but since you already had 8gb before I'd say either a stick or a slot is faulty.

in Bios its showing 1333ghz 4gb... and i'm using 64bit

 

 

i think its because i used that slot and that 1333ghz 4gb ram for like 3 years...

If you're only using 1 stick of RAM and windows is only allowing you to use 4 but detects 8. You're most likely using 32-bit windows and that's the hard limit for 32-bit :)

 

nvm

 

Go to BIOS and reset everything to default and see if that makes a difference?

Are you running a 32 or 64 bit OS

You have a 64-bit OS installed right?

You are probably running a 32-bit OS...

Possible that they're 2X2GB? Can you send us a link of the exact kit you bought?
