    Windows 10 64 Bit only 4GB Ram Usable?


    Hi,

    Did a clean install of Windows 10 in 64 Bit and now on my properties it only says 4GB of Ram are usable instead of the full 8GB. (Pic Attached)

    I had never seen this before and I did have Win10 installed after upgrading from 8.
    Decided to do a clean install because it had been a while.

    Please Help!

    Why is there only 4gb usable? I'm running 64 bit. How do I fix it?

    Only 4GB RAM usable out of 16? -- using Windows 10 64 bit

    So I bought this computer used and just noticed that there is only 4GB of RAM available while the other 12GB is "hardware reserved". I've searched around and tried a few things but nothing is working so far. Here's what I've come up with so far:


    • I've updated the BIOS for motherboard, which is an MSI 970 gaming motherboard.
    • Despite what others have suggested, it is not possible to remap the memory for this BIOS.
    • I've tried changing BIOS settings, as well as changing the "maximum memory" setting through msconfig -> boot -> advanced options.

    Here are my specs via Speccy:

    My .txt file from running CPU-Z (MSI Version) should be attached.


    Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
