    8 GB physical RAM but only 4GB is accessible


    I just noticed that after a clean reboot, when I check the Task Manager there is only 3GB of memory that is accessible - the only programs running at startup are Bitdefender, Onedrive and Crashplan and they take up less than 1 GB of memory. After running a few browser tabs, the disk drive or fan starts to make visible noise and the computer slows down. My primary disk drive is an SSD .I ran a memory check through the BIOS and the 8GB passed. I am running Windows 10 64 bit.
