Estou executando meu novo computador com 8 GB de RAM instalado, os módulos de memória são exibidos na tela da BIOS e no dmidecode, mas o total é de apenas 4 GB
Apenas 4 GB são visíveis em / proc / meminfo

Eu tentei usar o mem = 8G como um parâmetro de inicialização do kernel, eu li um post sobre a configuração do HIGHMEM64G como sim, antes de perceber que isso se aplica apenas aos kernels de 32 bits.
Tentando o dmidecode -t memory

Minha placa-mãe é uma ASUS M5 A99X EVO, há menções de problemas semelhantes em outras placas resolvidas por upgrades de firmware. Estou com o firmware mais recente, parece ter piorado o problema.
