Have 2 sticks of 4GB ram in my notebook, but..
It only shows 7.87GB usable. Moreover, I just got a BSOD that says page fault in non paged area. Could it be the ram issue? Got it twice in like 2 months? Last month and this month.

Your computer okaaay. Could you post a picture of what you are seeing.
Here is a Tutorial on how to do it.

You will never get all 8gb's showing up. Heres why : The usable memory may be less than the installed memory on Windows 7-based computers
As Layback Bear asked you, a screen shot of what it is you're seeing/not seeing will help immensely to give you guidance.
If you really want help with the BSOD, post a dump for us to look at.

Its something like this.
Okay, hold on, i'll post the dmp file.
It is pointing to memory corruption, could be bad ram or memory slot.
- Where did you buy the 2 sticks you put in?
- Did you buy matching pairs?
- Did BSOD's start after installing new ram?
- Try to re-seat the memory sticks.
- indianacarnie is correct, all ram has a slight overhead, and you will not see the full amount, read his link.
- If re-seating the ram doesn't help I would suggest to run: RAM - Test with Memtest86+
- Test will take a while to run, at least 7 runs.
- Post test results when finished.
- Where are your system specs? We need to know what type of machine you have.
