    Hardware Reserved Ram usage is high

    Hello,

    my configuration is MOBO gigabyte GA970

    FX 8350 processor

    GTX 1060 6GB GPU

    24 GB corsair vengeance ram

    latest RS5 build of fast insider ring. win 64



    I recently saw that my hardware reserved memory shot up to 8 GB while there was only 16GB attached to the PC in DIMM 1/3.

    I tried changing the dims but no change .

    I added another 8 GB ram stick in and still the hardware reserved memory is same I tried the BIOS Update which was already uptodate , tried changing the maximum memory in msconfig. but still no change.

  3. Hardware reserved problem (1.48 gb usable of 4gb ram)

    I have 2 ram of 2gb, both are working but when i insert them in laptop, laptop shows only 1.48 gb usable and 2.5 gb hardware reserved. If i insert only 1 ram (no matter which one) then it shows 1.48 gb usable so the
    problem is even if i add my another ram it simply goes to hardware reserved. my laptop is hp pavillion g4 and i'm using windows 10 64 bit. Please help me on this.
