Hardware reserved ram

I have 16 GB ram ,2 8 GB Memory Sticks.

my CPU is AMD FX 8350,ASUS M5A78LM USB3 motherboard and and corsair 1600Mhz 2 8gb ram sticks

i have using it for a while and it has been working great.

just today i start my PC and see hardware reserved memory as 8GB and and in properties it showed 16GB(7.98 usable).

so i called my brother and he removed memory stick and again inserted it and when i start computer it is again normal.

I just wanted to know what could have caused that problem ? and will i have to remove the memory stick each time this happens ? will the issue persist ?
