Hi,
Getting a lot of AE error codes on QLED.
Don't know how to fix this.
But my main questions is I'm running a 32Gb Corsair RAM Kit but when I boot into BIOS down the right side of the screen under the Memory part it says capacity 24576Mb.
Am I missing something here?
reseat memory etc?

32 GB = 8 GB + 24 GB (~24576Mb). Do you have an 8 GB memory stick that is defective or needs to be re-seated?
In AMI BIOS Q-codes, "AE" means "legacy boot event". You can have either a legacy boot OS installation (with MBR partition of boot drive), or a UEFI boot OS installation. I am not sure what it means when you get this code.

One of my R5E machines was acting up, too. Pulled it all apart, cleaned the contacts, everything worked again. Did the same to the other R5E, mobos are getting long in the tooth and already well expired on their warranty.
It's probably just chip creep. Or pin oxidation in the mobo RAM slots, not on the DIMMs themselves. But if it recurs then it might be time to look for a failing cap or something, old parts approaching or exceeding their rated longevity. I wouldn't blame the RAM sticks just yet, especially if you can confirm they consistently work properly in another (newer) machine.
