Windows 10: Blue Screen of Death after msconfig - Maximum Boot Setting at 8000

Hi, I have an Acer Nitro 5 with 16 GB dedicated ram.


I did the following:


msconfig > boot > advanced options > maxiumm memory > 8000


After pressing apply > ok > restart,


I get the blue screen of death saying "Bad System Config Info".


What's going on? This happened twice after system restore.

Msconfig - Maximum Boot Memory Setting defaulting to 0

Hi,

I have a Fujitisu Windows 10 PC with 16GB of RAM. I need to set the memory to 8192 in msconfig > Boot > Advanced Options > Maximum Memory. However, when I try to set it, as soon as you click 'OK' and go back into it, it has defaulted to 0 (even when using
'Make Boot Settings Permanent').

I am able to set it to 2048 and below but 8192 will not stay as the setting. If you put in other amounts it will change the number to a seemingly arbitrary figure (e.g 8000 > 3904) but the setting will stay. I try 8192 again and no success.

I have tried using the command line truncate memory command which does change the available memory, but changing it in this manner is then not reflected in msconfig, which is required for the software to interface with the hardware.

How am I able to get the 8192 value to set? This is required for some very specific hardware and the supplier says it is an OS issue.

Thanks in advance.

Aidan
