Acabei de atualizar meu PC com outros 32 GB de RAM. Tanto o BIOS quanto o lshw reconhecem a existência de todos os quatro módulos RAM de 16GB, mas nem free , top e htop visualizam a memória real.

Eu uso o Ubuntu 18.04 que vem com
$ uname -r

kernel. Eu poderia postar essa pergunta no AskUbuntu, mas tenho a sensação de que essa questão é mais relacionada ao kernel e não específica do Ubuntu. Minha entrada de inicialização atual do grub lê
menuentry 'Ubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-9c791297-4f61-471a-ac23-6228987c316e' {

Eu também instalei o Windows (tm) para diagnosticar o problema. E o Windows 10 de 64 bits também vê apenas 32 GB de RAM. Ele diagnostica os outros 32GB como "hardware reservado", o que aponta strongmente para bug no firmware da placa-mãe.
Eu também confirmei que minha placa-mãe tem a versão mais recente do BIOS (a partir de 7 de setembro de 2018)
$ dmesg |grep Memory
[ 0.000000] Memory: 32676352K/33432868K available (12300K kernel code, 2470K rwdata, 4244K rodata, 2408K init, 2416K bss, 756516K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)
[ 0.132315] x86/mm: Memory block size: 128MB
O problema foi causado pela configuração incorreta do slot de memória. Depois de substituir a memória em slots A2, B2, C2 e D2, exatamente como descrito por Mark Patrick, resolvemos todos os problemas.
Portanto, o moral da história é: quando o Linux (ou Windows) não usa toda a memória instalada (mesmo que veja os chips nos slots), verifique se os módulos de memória estão inseridos nos slots corretos.
