Windows 7 x64 only recognizes 6 out of 8 gb ram
Here are my specs:

I bought this computer recently and after a fresh install of Windows 7 x64, I found that Windows only displayed 6gb of ram. BIOS reports 8gb of ram and I'm not sure if I did any tweaks, but after a restart Windows displayed 8gb so I have left it alone since then. I decided to check again today and it reports 6gb again. BIOS still reports 8gb of ram though.
Also, only 4gb is usable in msinfo32? I am running 64-bit and I don't have faulty ram.
