I bought the new ram, had few issues after installation( it wouldn't recognize the new ram), I finished the setup, than, I opened GPU-Z to check if everything is ok, and it says that i have a GGDR6 (micron). My new installed ram is a Corsair DDR4 2x8GB, 2400MHz. What's the problem???

Oh, OK. But now I opened dxdiag and it shows me that i have 8192 MB (of RAM my guess), instead of 16GB... Does it recognize I have 2x8GB? this is strange

Use hwinfo64 or cpu-z or task manager 

There are a million software apps that are good

I don't know where to look for that sorry 😄

Right click task bar and select task manager. Go to performance tab and check memory tab.

Ctrl+shift+esc will also open it

I found the memory stats, but it's even more strange... My motherboard supports only 2 ram slots, and in task manager says I'm using 1 out of 4. My motherboard is a MSI B360 M Gaming Plus
