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.

The images displayed 0 passes.

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

    Are you sure you have installed a 64-bit version of windows 10?
    To check it open a CMD and write:
    wmic os get osarchitecture

    I don't know if this will help but I found the specifications for my ram and motherboard Don't be confused because I did install matching Ram and I have a custom build PC And that is most likely why crucial isn't finding upgrades
