RAM UNDETECTED

I am experiencing a problem with my ASUS VivoBook X571GT. The BIOS detects 12GB of RAM, but Windows 11 64-bit only shows 4GB. This is affecting my system's performance. Here are the details:

• Model: ASUS VivoBook X571GT
  
• OS: Windows 11 64-bit
  
• BIOS Version: 312
  
• RAM Configuration: 4GB soldered + 8GB additional (total 12GB)
  

Issue: BIOS shows 12GB, Windows shows only 4GB.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Verified RAM seating
  
• Updated Windows and drivers
  
• Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic
  
• Checked msconfig for memory limits
  
• Verified RAM compatibility
  

 

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

 

Please make windows 11 run smoothly on 4gb ram and 96gb hdd

We don't work for MS. We're normal users like you.

I'd suggest two options:

• Uninstall unnecessary RAM-eating apps which you don't use.
  
• Increase the memory to at least 8GB by adding a RAM stick of 4GB but which is compatible with your device.
  

4GB is the minimum req., so you may need high amount of RAM.
