  1. Run "perfmon /res" on your server. Check the memory tab. I'm betting that there's 8GB specified as hardware reserved. This could be because of actual hardware needs, but I think it's more likely that you're running a memory configuration that your motherboard doesn't support. Here's a Microsoft KB article that may shed some light on your situation:
