    My laptop is supposed to have 8gb of ram but when I check it says I only have 4.


    So in my laptop I have 2 sticks of 4gb ram I don't know anything exact since I don't know too much about computers but after a few months of use, I noticed that when I checked in task manager it says I only have 4gb of ram. I'm not sure what to do or if there is a way to fix this. I am sure that there isn't a visual bug since I am always using 95% or more of my ram.

  2. Not all ram usable in asus laptop with 8gb of ram usable 5.95 gb ryzen 3200U

    UPDATE I took apart to see what is wrong and it looks like I have 4 gb of ram and I was supposed to have 8gb of ram and the system apparently recognisees as 8gb of dual channel ram

    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

    My laptop is supposed to have 8gb of ram but when I check it says I only have 4.

    Installed a new RAM but doesn't show up.

    Hi, I have recently bough a new RAM to upgrade my laptop,

    the Laptop default spec:

    • Window 10 64bit
    • 4gb Nvidia gtx1650
    • 8gb ddr4 ram
    The issue is that I bought a new Crucial 8gb DDR4 RAM stick (same speed as a default RAM stick) in hope to upgrade my laptop to 16gb RAM, however, after installed, I check the system information and its still only showed 8gb of Physical RAM, the task manager
    also only showed 8gb, however the Virtual memory showed 15.9gb. So I am not sure if its suppose to be like this since I spent money to upgrade physical RAM.

    Thanks
