I've checked each stick individually in the computer, by itself, to verify that the RAM was all in working condition. I have 2 sticks of 4gb RAM and 2 sticks of 3gb RAM. I'm not sure which are being detected and which aren't. Any advice would be much appreciated.
system specs (AS SHOWN)
Windows Edition: Windows 7 Home Premium processor: AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor 2.60GHz Installed Memory (RAM): 6.00GB (3.25GB usable) System Type: 32-bit Operating System
Everything I've seen related to the subject is in regards to the amount of usable RAM being less than the amount installed. This is not my main issue, I have 14GB of RAM (2 sticks 2X2G DDR3, 2 sticks 3x1G DDR3), and only 6GB is shown as installed, with only 3.25GB of that usable.
2There no such thing as 3GB RAM sticks and the number and capacity of the RAM sticks change through-out your question; So your question really makes no sense. Can you please double check your actual RAM stick capacities and amounts and update your question? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-06-06T18:55:53.130
@Joseph - 2GB + 2GB + 1GB + 1GB + 1GB isn't 16GB. Besides your running a 32-bit operating system there is NO WAY for a 32-bit operating system to use 16GB. Your hard limit on Home Premium is 16GB by the way. Memory Limits Windows

The only way you would have 8 memory modules is if you had a dual-socket motherboard. Update your question with percise specifcations and fix the numerous errors in your question.... – Ramhound – 2014-06-06T18:58:37.697
There is such a thing as x86 machines which can address more than the 3 Gb limit, but it requires a PAE kernel (something that, to my knowledge, Windows does not have). – HalosGhost – 2014-06-06T19:06:23.710
