found solution. you need to install the same manufacturers memory in both slots. I installed new memory all from the same company and I finally have the 8 GB.

Hi,
Please try the following steps:
- Hold down the Windows Key and press R (or just Click Start),
- Type msconfig in the Run box (or Search box) and hit Enter,
- In the System Configuration windows, click the Boot tab,
- Click the Advanced Options button,
- Un-stick the box next to 'Maximum Memory',
- Click OK,
- Click Apply and then OK to get out,
- Restart the notebook for the change to take effect.
Regards,
