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

    Well, this is embarrassing! No system match was found.
    Somehow, a match for your system has eluded our industry-leading compatibility database. Our compatibility team will be searching for a solution if it is available, so check back soon!

    I have a custom build

    Summary:

    1) Scannow integrity violations fixed

    2) Settings for creation of BSOD dump files are now optimal
    (there are BSOD if they occur, that may not create dump files)
    (please maintain the current settings)

    3) The inability to use the installed RAM is likely related to using untested RAM modules (RAM not displayed on the QVL)
    (The hardware reserved remains very high despite using matched RAM indicating possible incompatible RAM)

    4) See if you can open support tickets with Crucial and other RAM manufacturing companies

    5) There was no new V2 posted so scanning cannot be performed to check for unexpected shutdowns and restarts
    (incompatible RAM can cause unexpected shutdowns and restarts, BSOD, and high hardware reserved numbers)

    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
