    8.1GB Reserved for hardware


    I've had this pc for about 7 months and never really checked my usable ram, but recently i wanted to play some games with a 16GB RAM requirement, so i checked and saw that half of my installed RAM is reserved. Now i know it's normal for some ram to be reserved, but 8.1GB seems a bit excessive, so i was wondering what might be wrong?
    I'm running Windows 10 Pro, and here are some pics of taskmng and RAM info.

    5.9 GB of 8 GB is listed as hardware reserved!?

    My RAM is mem tested and all good. Running Windows 10. 5.9GB is listed as unusable, hardware reserved!!! How do I get it back? Should I want to? My system runs great; no errors. Still, I assume that 5.9 out of 8 GB is excessive.

    note: the common "fix" to clear max mem box in msconfig does not work! Tried it. My bios has no memory configuration settings. Where did my RAM go? Anyone, please, have a solution that does work?

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .
