Have you tried taking the ram out and completely cleaning the slot? Possibly you have allocated 2 gigs for something it should say what the other 2 gig is being used for in the bios somewhere

In your bios screen does it show 6gb of ram installed. If not, then you may have a dead ram slot, a bad IMC on your CPU, or you may have bent pins in your socket.

If it is not a hardware issue, then more than likely it is simply a software issue. I would try moving the ram to slots 2/4/6 (looking from Socket side left to right)
