Solved 6GB RAM USABLE 1,4GB in ASUS X452E Series

Hi all ... I've just added a 4GB RAM on a laptop Asus X452E and become 6GB total RAM. That became my problem why usable only 1,4GB RAM?



I use Win 8.1 64bit. If you understand this problem please give me a solution.

It isn't a problem, go to your task manager and you'll find out what uses RAM.

I feel this is very little supply of RAM and the rest is so big it does not work

64bit or 32bit windows 8.1 ? Open msconfig, type it at run command and select the boot tab, then select advanced options, is Maximum Memory unchecked? Know how to get to the BIOS, see how much is says there. Sometimes OS uses some or hardware does, but this is too much, usually only 100 or so MB it would use in this case, not a GB or more.

I use a 64bit win8.1 and I uncheck Maximum Memory. but I was confused when entering the BIOS what should I set. Can you give me the settings in the BIOS?

I can not give you settings in BIOS, not a setting i am looking to see, it should be one of the pages in BIOS that just states how much RAM machine is showing, all i wanted to know.
When you are booting and see ASUS logo should be either Delete or F8 one of those keys get you into the BIOS. I am not sure what page it will be on, just do not make any changes.

These images do show 6GB DDR3 but the usable amount is incorrect. Said had to uncheck Max Memory, did that help in anyway.
Check here too, right click Start button select SYSTEM should show in installed RAM there on this page.

system shows 6GB the same as the PC and device.

RAM and capacity can be read this laptop, but not working. Do I have to install Windows another version and it solve the problem?

By system you mean BIOS ? Do not think another version or reinstalling windows helps this. Try to re-seat RAM again, meaning opening it again. Not sure if it is a system issue or hardware issue yet.

yes I've tried to remove and reinstall many times but there was no reaction whatsoever.. The following are promulgated:



I'm really confused about this.. if hardware or faulty ram, of course the capacity will not be visible.

Only one guess, always chance of faulty in anything, system issue was other idea of possible issues either compatibility or configuration of system. When buying RAM need to make sure it is compatible with your laptop, sometimes ASUS has a list of compatible RAM that works well. May need BIOS update, but i only saw up to 2014, as not sure BIOS version you had, but did not see anything stating for RAM in descriptions for each BIOS update. Unless i or someone else knows solution yet, you can always contact ASUS for free. Believe posted there website with your system here, if not get it again for you. Did you check in the BIOS to see if it states 6GB RAM ?

Thanks for the solution of jds63 to contact ASUS. I have been contacted ASUS Service Center and followed their advice to change the type of ram that I use and all successful.



although a bit strange because the system uses about 500MB of ram.

That's probably the RAM that is reserved for your hardware, although its a little bit much if you ask me.
Go to taskmanager > performance > memory > corner right to find how much exactly.

YW, So you bought different RAM modules ? axe0 is correct hardware reserved, mine shows 15.9GB usable of 16GB. Should be only 100 or so MB. Can check back with ASUS looks like about little over 500MB. Be place to see it too, task manger.

in the task manager there are a lot of 70 or 80 applications running, I did have to bring it back to ASUS for optimize it?



is there a way to detect running applications that are useful or not?

A lot of ones you see in services are Microsoft services, would not turn off or look to turn off any of them as may make system unstable or unusable. Main focus be more on programs you have on system other then Microsoft's. First look at Startup tab try disabling startups do not need running, sometimes can be done within program itself which is best alternative, but can not find them do it here.

To me this had nothing to do with Reserved RAM amount being shown, why are you asking this now instead ? As said look thorugh Startup tab in task manager, also look down at notification area, icons there that are not system icons most likely running when you boot up. Try right click them to go to the options of programs affiliated with them. What do you mean going back to ASUS for optimizing, did you buy new RAM this solve issue or not ?

Hi there. I have a same issues like yours problem. Can you tell me what are you doing from 1.4gb usable to 5.5gb usable ram ? Pleasee help me..
