Is this normal? if not then how do I use ALL of the memory?
It detects that I have 8gb of ram but it only uses 4gb of it
I saw that 4gb was in hardware reserve and i dunno how to allocate more memory for use
I have Windows 8.1 SL OEM
2. I can only change the DRAM Frequency in the BIOS, I currently set it to 1600 in hopes of fixing it
3. Msconfig > Boot > Advanced > Maximum memory unticked
4. I have also put both sticks in slot 1 & 3 but no luck
5. Kingston HyperX Fury is not on my mobo's compatibility list
6. Regedit-> Hkey local machine->CurrentControlSet->Control->SystemResources->ReservedResources -> No Value set
7. I tried to boot my pc using each sticks themselves, still no luck but:
8. There are no programs that are hogging the ram yet
9. I have contacted the Kingston representative over at tomshardware.com
10. for more details: 8GB of ram installed but i can only use 4GB of it? - RAM - Memory
Will be adding more information when asked!
Thanks in advance!
