16GB RAM (7.95GB Usable) Win10 Ryzen 5

Hello, I’m using a Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB of Patriot Viper Elite 2133MhZ RAM, and a Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 motherboard.

I have successfully booted the computer off of both individual sticks of RAM in DIMM 2. Seemingly neither stick will work in DIMM 1. Both successful boots show 8GB of RAM.

When I put both sticks in the system, I get the readout “16GB RAM (7.95 usable)” in the About This PC section of my computer.

What do I do?
