OK so how do i allocate more RAM to windows. How do i enable Minidumps?

The RAM issue i am having is it simply wont use more ram. I have tried watching YouTube tutorials and how they reset the maximum ram number.
but it keeps saying 8.00gb installed- 3.80gb usable.

Now the biggest problem i have: I am loading Minecraft with Opti Fine and a shader pack installed. I have an AMD Radeon 7950 with the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin engine installed. So, whenever i load these shaders, the game crashes and says: Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of windows.( I can link the full crash report if you want) And I did try to enable minidumps in the control panel and that didn't do anything.

So yeah. My PC needs serious help.

If you purchase RAM for the new motherboard:

a) Select RAM modules displayed on the QVL

b) Purchase in pairs with matching SKU

c) Consider RAM manufacturers that guarantee compatibility

d) Consider RAM manufacturers that have lifetime warranties

    Note
    If you have fast boot or ultra fast boot enabled in your UEFI firmware settings, then you will need to temporarily disable fast boot or ultra fast boot to be able to boot from a USB.

    1. Try another USB stick
    2. Try all USB ports (2.0 and 3.0)
    3. Maybe when using UEFI BIOS you have to temporarily switch to Legacy in BIOS settings
    4. Turn off temporarily fast boot, secure boot, CSM if enabled

    The posts don't have displayed numbers to refer to.

    See the 5th post in this thread.

    Windows consistently has reported 4 Dimm.

    Each task manager image displayed 4 Dimm: Slots used 2 of 4

    And the script displayed 4 Dimm.

    Please take pictures and post images into the thread.

    That might be an issue because I can't get my computer to boot with any ram in the second dimm slot. Oh and I also only have two dimm slots not four
