Have 16gb ram installed. games constantly crash saying memory issue. I looked at task manager and said 5gb ram available, even though I have 16 ... I dont know what to do.

check that the memory is securely in the slot if you were messing around with them earlier, otherwise, they might be dead. To test this try removing the ram sticks and only boot with one at a time. If one of them is dead you won't be able to boot.
