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

    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
