The message in your kernel log:
[ 0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 4096MB of RAM.
[ 0.000000] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 0.000000] WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/main.c:1662 mtrr_trim_uncached_memory+0x283/0x2a4()
is a clue. You might want to look for a BIOS update for your
motherboard.
