If you go here:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-990XA-UD3-rev-1x#dl
Enter your product and it will let you download the latest BIOS version.
To get the BIOS version you need to go into the BIOS. During startup type F2 or DEL to get into the BIOS.
once you're in there it should be displayed on the first page.
Compare that to what is available to download from Gigabytes website.

Only Beta driver is above mine
Can you open Task Manager
Go to performance
go to resource monitoring
go to the memory tab and see how much is being used by hardware reserved.

Here I have made a print screen of memory tab for you https://i.imgur.com/jATThqs.png?1
Can you click "open resource monitor" at the bottom of that page and send me the screenshot of that.

Okey so Virtual memory set there is 1920 mb
In BIOS I can't find anywhere how much memory it can use but I maybe just don't know what im looking for
and I have 2x 8GB Hyperx 1866 hz Those sticks are exactly the same and I have them in slot 1 and 2 (Yes same model)

You'll have memory slots on your motherboard like this:
A1
B1
A2
B2
You need to ensure your memory is seated in pairs.
A1 + A2
B1 + B2
In your case, the slots are coloured.
make sure the memory is in the same colour.

Also, in the BIOS:
"Various manufacturers use different types of software to handle system BIOS setting options. Consequently, finding the correct menu option for changing onboard video card memory settings may be easier with some models than with others. Nevertheless, the menu option you need to use to change the graphics adapter memory settings should be in "Advanced," "Advanced Chipset" "Advanced Features" or other similarly named section of the menu. You can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate to the correct menu option or click the header if the system BIOS supports use of a mouse."
should be set to the following:
RAM > Recommended Video Memory
2GB > 256MB
4GB > 512MB
8GB or more > 1024MB or more
If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0

@Edit: I didn't yet did what you said in second post as I posted while you posted in, give me a moment.

I think it's probably a memory mismatch with your motherboard.
Have you ever had the full 16GB on any other OS?
Here is the supported memory list: http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/memory_ga-990xa-ud3.pdf
Your motherboard supports:
DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules

Have you messed with your bios to try and over clock? I would put your bios back to defaults. Other then that, I'm out of ideas. I would recommend trying a pair of other memory to see what happens.
