hey all. I've tried different ram, a different windows version, I've messed around in bios and updated it as well. How can i get my pc to register the rest of my ram??
-cross posting-
I had this issue once on a PC a few years ago. I ended up having to slightly over volt the RAM in the bios. After doing that I no longer had any issues. By slightly I mean I upped it by the smallest increment once or twice.
What other hardware do you have installed in your system?
Can you take a screenshot of the Memory tab of Resource Manager?
It looks like the BIOS is reserving the memory for something. Reserving memory is pretty normal, but 8 GB isn't. Have you tried resetting your bios to default settings.
Hit ctrl-shift-esc to quick open tasks/performance. Are apps using a total of 8 gb? What are you running?
