    I recently bought a ddr4 8gb RAM and put it in my second slot. Before my RAM is 4gb, now it is supposed to be 12gb. I turned on my task manager and it is showing now 12gb which means the RAM is detected. But, the memory in Task Manager is not exceeding further than 3.8gb no matter how many programs I use. So, my new RAM is not being used and I don't why. Someone help fast so maybe I can return the RAM.

    :)

    Windows shows 8GB RAM installed but 4GB RAM is usable

    Hi There,

    I've just upgraded my pc from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Windows seems to have detected this upgrade but why does it show as only 4GB RAM available. The following is what I have tried so far with no luck:

    • I have tried the msconfig method on ensuring maximum memory is not checked.
    • physically removed the new RAM and reinstalled it
    Any thoughts/suggestions on how i can resolve this matter?

    Thanks

    Installed a new RAM but doesn't show up.

    Hi, I have recently bough a new RAM to upgrade my laptop,

    the Laptop default spec:

    • Window 10 64bit
    • 4gb Nvidia gtx1650
    • 8gb ddr4 ram
    The issue is that I bought a new Crucial 8gb DDR4 RAM stick (same speed as a default RAM stick) in hope to upgrade my laptop to 16gb RAM, however, after installed, I check the system information and its still only showed 8gb of Physical RAM, the task manager
    also only showed 8gb, however the Virtual memory showed 15.9gb. So I am not sure if its suppose to be like this since I spent money to upgrade physical RAM.

    Thanks
