So i have 8gb of ram and my pc knows this as it says it in windows so i know its not that, but even though i have 8gb i cant seem to use it as right now my pc is using around 2gb of ram but its saying its on 50% total usage and whenever i try toi play games it jumps to 100% and makes them unplayable.

Have you tried  windows update and make sure everything is up to date?

total usage

There are other things using RAM than just what you show in that screen shot.

Let's see the rest....

TLDR: I misread something on your screenie. Go to 3.

 

1. Have you put your RAM sticks in the right DIMMs on your MoBo? It should tell you which DIMMs to use on the board and in the manual.

Yes --> Continue

No --> Put the sticks in the right DIMMs and read the manual next time!

I'm not sure --> Watch a youtube tutorial on how to build a PC and focus on the RAM installation. 

I lost the manual and there is no nice image next to the DIMMs on the MoBo --> Find the manual on the interwebs and read it. Keep manuals. It saves both my and your time.

 

2. Are you sure you bought a 8GB kit?

Yes --> Continue.

No --> Downloadmoreram.com is fake.

 

3. Blame me for missing a detail on your photo. On the second photo, it says 8GB. I dont know about the first photo, but it looks to me as if Windows has cached some files in your RAM and you possibly had other programmes running when you took the screenshots. When W10 says "Available RAM" it means "RAM which W10 is not currently using". Is it possible that you have a hidden process running somewhere (i.e. malware)?

 

Sorry I cannot help you further than this,
