    16GB RAM only 8GB usable on Windows 10 x64

    have 16GB of RAM installed on my computer, but only 8GB is usable. I am running Windows 10 x64. I have tried the following steps to fix this issue, but they have not worked:

    1. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version.
    2. I have tried reseating the RAM modules.
    3. I have tried using different RAM modules.
    4. I have tried run-MSConfig
    I am still not able to use all 16GB of RAM. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    [Ahmed Hashem]

    32GB Installed (16GB Usable)

    One month ago I upgraded from 16GB ram to 32GB ram. But since then it has said 32GB Installed memory (16GB usable) and the other 16GB is in the hardware reserved.

    The motherboard does support 32GB ram and so does the processor. But I have tried these steps and still doesn't resolve the issue.

    PC Specs:

    Ryzen 5 2600

    GTX 1070

    DDR4 32GB 3200mhz CL16 Ballistix ram

    Gigabyte GA-A320M-H motherboard

    I have tried

    Updating BIOS:

    Changing the page file in virtual memory.

    Change msconfig.

    Reseating the CPU and RAM.

    i have 16gb memory but my mac is only showing 2gb usable

    Windows 10 6.6gb memory usable out of 16gb memory.


    I've noticed my memory is sky rocketing up to the 90%s when gaming or idle. I checked my specs and have realized only 6.6gb is usable. I was wondering if anyone had a fix to this? Thanks.
