is your Windows 8 32bit or 64bit?
if 32, that would explain part of the reduced RAM capacity as only 4GB (just shy) is addressable on 32bit rigs.
the label does state 8GB, can't see anything that says it's a kit.
when you buy stick as a kit, they label them as the combined capacity, not what each stick is, but there should be a label saying 1 of 2 or such, unless it has been removed.
