    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

    Can I upgrade to 8GB (4gb * 2) Ram?


    In addition to Post #2, I'd suggest looking at Gigabyte's recommended memory list for the board. Unfortunately, they have only tested a few 4GB modules. Most of the correct type may work, especially if you're not looking to go above 1333 Hz.

    Why is the Windows Event Log using 4Gb of RAM?

    Windows 10 using 4GB reserved RAM

    I checked and nothing was checked off. this was a step I tried several times. and still same results. I am baffled to be honest. I would think if the RAM slot was non functional or damaged in some way, windows would not read the fact there are 8GB installed,
    nor would other apps show the RAM stats, maybe I'm wrong? it seems strange though the BIOS only reads 4GB physical (which windows indicates yet indicates also the other 4GB are "hardware reserved" Ive removed all the hardware other than the 2 extra SATA drives
    I have installed on system, and nothing changed. Could it be somehow RAM is being allocated to these 2 Drives? I would of thought removing my Video card and just running the onboard would of shown results 100% different than I got, which was it added 500MB
    to the existing 4GB .. I'm really dumbfounded here.
