    1 ram being used and not both

    Hey guys,

    So I was playing mw2 remastered for fun and i turned on fps monitor to look at what fps i was getting, while i was playing i noticed that it says 8GB RAM and I didn’t think much of it, I finished a mission and exited out of the game, went to task manager and saw that i have 8GB of ram, 1 slot out of 4 which is weird because my motherboard is a single channel motherboard with 2x8GB RAM, Can you guys tell me how I can enable both of my RAM sticks ? Would be very appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Motherboard: MSI B560M-A PRO
    RAM: Kingston Fury 2x8GB 2400Mhz

      You might try and reseat the ram modules. Make sure you unplug the machine first!

      When Windows doesn't utilize the full amount of installed RAM, users often experience system slowdowns or limitations when running memory-intensive

        Thank you alot for this, i pushed the ram in a bit more, the motherboard detected a new ram stick and told me straight away and now it says 16GB

        It is weird because i reseated it a few times and still the same. I guess the motherboard didn’t quite recognize it the first time.

        this can be closed/solved
