Have 2 sticks of 4GB ram in my notebook, but..

[Ev0d3vil]

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.

What method or program are you using to see your ram?

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.

To small for me to read. Can you give us one of these from Resource Montior. From your printed post things indicate normal.

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: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html
• 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.

You could try this too-

While you are at it how about cleaning the slots out -RAM ? You can do that by cutting a thin stripof an old credit card say 5 - 10mm wide - round the corners off wrap some nonfluffy microweave cloth (the glass cleaning variety) round the end of the cardstrip, moisten it very lightly with some alcohol and GENTLY wipe down the slotsto clean any dust or crud that has got "hardened" onto the slotcontacts. Do the same to the stick contacts only very gently.
