RAM problem after removing the battery
Hello everyone. Please tell me what could be the problem. Today I disassembled the computer, cleaned it and inadvertently pulled out the battery, after turning on the computer does not see all 8 gigs of RAM. That is, 8 gigs are installed, in the properties it sees 6 gigs and uses only 4 gigs. Will reinstalling Windows help? or how you can restore it. Thank you for your help !!!!

Yes, I tried to insert the same thing into 2 other slots, can I pull out the percent and insert it back?
The simplest thing is to look at the size of the operating system in BIOS. If the BIOS does not write 8 GB, then something with straps. But in general, if the contacts are dirty, then the bar is completely disconnected from the BIOS, it does not work halfway)))
In general, you were told to wipe the contacts on the strips with alcohol, and to blow out the connectors on the "mother", vacuum them.
there in BIOS on the first page writes Extended Memory 4078M
Here the dude has the same problem, I give the link

the conclusion of such a poke is necessary for the BIOS in the sections about memory.
update through the BIOS utility to the last, it is unlikely, but maybe it will help.
try to reset everything to default in BIOS with the F7 key (most likely). Well, then set the required SPD voltage, etc.
Stupid question: when did you stick the memory into the slots, is it seen as Dual DDR 3 or SDRAM DDR3?
