It is detecting your ram with what I can tell from the screenshot. What program is that anyways? But it a large portion is being used. I believe windows itself uses aroung 4gigs and you might just have programs in the background using the rest, even a web browser could use a decent chunk

What does task manager show?

That looks like a snippet the system properties menu in Windows. It's detecting all of the RAM but it isn't that only 7.92GB is free -- rather only 7.92GB is capable of being addressed, due to something going wrong.
