Hardware Reserved taking too much RAM!
So I got a HP G62-224HE with 3GB of RAM. It runs really slow and I couldn't figure out why. I went to Control Panel > System and it says :
Installed memory (RAM): 3.00 GB (763 MB usable)
And if i go to Resource Monitor it shows:
Hardware Reserved: 2310 MB
In Use: 602 MB
Modified: 1 MB
Standby: 161 MB
Free: 0 MB
How can I take RAM out of the Hardware Reserved?
