If you can give your system specification (Including operating system and architecture) then it would help us all an awful lot to answer your question.

Does your motherboard support 8 GB of memory ?
Did you install Windows 10 64 bit or 32 bit ?
32 bit will not use more then 4 GB of memory, most times 3.25 to 3.5
Are you using the motherboard graphics ?
Post a shot of resource monitor showing the memory tab, this will explain everything.
