Not really sure. try disabling it and see what happens.

Go into MSCONFIG, then BOOT, then ADVANCED OPTIONS, uncheck MAXIMUM MEMORY

If it were me I'd double check the socket and CPU to make sure all pins etc are in good working order, and then look into the board being faulty.

If the other CPU you have correctly shows all 16gb then you can say with reasonable assurance that its the CPU at fault.

I had the same problem (16GB installed and visible in bios but only 8GB seen in windows)...turned out to be a bent pin in the cpu socket so second Luke's recommendation.

Have you had a chance to check the socket and CPU yet?

Make sure to check that all the pins in the socket are ok.
