    Do you have a 32bit or 64bit OS?

    Is your Windows version Windows 64 Bit
    if yes, then your RAM is fucked, goto a computer shop and see if they can fix it or buy a new one

    Is that a single stick of ram you have in there? And like 2 previous posters said, if you don't have 64bit windows, you need to install it, 32bit wont recognize 8gb of ram.

    32 bit is probably why you lost a lot of memory
    but the memory errors, I think your memory sticks are fucked, take them to a computer expert and see

    Ding ding ding.. That's your problem. 32bit can only utilize up to 4gigs of ram. You need a 64bit system.

    Yes, thats your problem right there. 32bit will recognize a little under 4gb usually, install 64bit windows, and run some tests on your ram(google) if you still have problems.

    I've got 8GB of ram, not 3.3GB. Dont think 32bit windows would need 4.7GB of my ram.

    Control Panel says "Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00GB (3.25GB usable)". Does that mean that a part of it is broken?

    Like it has been said many times now, that tells you exactly what it says... you have 8gb installed, but the 32bit windows can not utilize more than 3.25gb. Install 64bit windows...

    As far as I know you can't use more than 4gb ram on a 32bit system
