Slots
This is the total number of memory upgrade slots (sockets) followed by their configuration. Banks are the way a system addresses memory. A bank must be completely filled with memory modules of the same size and type in order for the system to recognize and address the memory. i.e. :
3 (3 banks of 1) This indicates that there are 3 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank consists of one memory slot. So you can add memory one piece at a time for the system to use.

4 (2 banks of 2) This indicates that there are 4 memory slots. These are divided into 2 banks, and each bank consists of two memory slots. So you must add memory two pieces at a time (they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for the system to benefit from the upgrade.
In Windows 10, on the performance tab, under memory in task manager, it says 'Slots used: 1 of 2' I was wondering if this is reliable. Searching my laptop online suggests that it only has one slot. I have a gaming laptop (GL552VW) and I want to add more RAM into it. In the asus webpage it says it is upgradable up to 16 gigs of RAM and 8 gigs by default. Same goes with task manager, it says 2 of 4 RAM slots used, but I opened my laptop I only see 2 slots and they are used, those 2 slots have 4 gigs in each which adds up to 8 gigs.
12 (3 banks of 4) This indicates that there are 12 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank consists of four memory slots. So you must add memory four pieces at a time (and they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for the system to benefit from the upgrade.

Windows 10 Memory Slots Used 2 Of 4
I've recently started having problems with my RAM memory (4 ram sticks of 2gb).
It worked perfectly fine before. Got 4 of the exact same ram sticks, but now the motherboard refuses to read more than 2 of the 4 slots at a time. (used to have 8GB, now it only sees 4gb). I've tried every ram stick individually in every slot and they all work properly. I've tried every combo of 2 sticks in all possible slot combinations and all worked. However as soon as I add the third and fourth or just a third stick it completely ignores that stick.
I'm 100% sure the sticks are compatible as they have worked properly before. Interesting aspect is that I updated my BIOS shortly before it happened (Not sure if it happened right away after updating). I've already tried downgrading my bios but the flash utility won't let me saying my backup file from the bios is 'outdated'. The Ai Suite program also can't downgrade it because the 'Bios interface has been changed/altered'. Could it be that the newer bios has different default settings which might cause some of my sticks to stop working(even though they're all the same sticks)?

PS. Already tried the CMOS reset, Battery reset, reseating the sticks numerous times, even moving them around which shouldn't have effect cause they're all 100% alike, also tried switching Memory remap around. My motherboard is an ASUS P8H67-M, the Ai suite (program from the motherboard) does see the entire 8gb installed, CPU-Z sees 8 GB as well but bios sticks to 4gb installed)
