Do I have a memory issue?

I bought more memory a while back, and one of the sticks the guy sent me was from a 12GB kit, as the memory was the same, I assumed it didn't matter, but as I ran the user.benchmark, it issued that my RAM is identified as "different" aswell.

Can this be related to this?

I barely went past 12GB physical usage and my virtual memory was already full. Is this a Windows thing or what? This happens with chrome or chrome + games. Why can't my PC use that last 22% of memory? It keeps hitting a wall before 80% usage, and virtual memory says it's already using even my pagefile. Should I just increase my pagefile? I have 1GB on my SSD and 1GB on my HDD, and thinking about removing it from my SSD and using 4GB on my HDD.

Yeah, don't split it up, that's a bad idea. Let windows manage it on your largest HD.

Also, test your RAM with Memtestx86+ for a minimum of 24 hours. If that says it's good, then your issue is elsewhere

Alright, I'll do that to the pagefile. And I recall running Memtest for a few hours, I think while I slept, so I guess it's stable, and have even gotten it to work at 1866Mhz, but decided to keep it "stock". So, this thing with virtual memory is in fact a issue? I didn't know if this was normal or not.

Well splitting it up isn't wise, especially across different HD types.

Thanks, I didn't know that, I removed the pagefile from my SSD and left Windows to manage it on my HD (which was set to 4GB) and now I can (almost) use my entire physical memory, I had to open like 50 videos on YouTube, but I managed to fill it, lol. Got just ~384MB shy of 100% physical memory usage because virtual memory filled first, so I would call that success. Thanks, buddy! :)
