Hello.
I have self assebled desktop with following configuration-
AMD Phenom II X4 955 CPU
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H Motherboard
500GB SATA HDD
4GB DDR3 1333MHz Gskill RAM
PowerColor ATI Readon HD4850 1GB DDR3
600W PSU

I have installed Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit OS. After installation it was showing 4GB RAM. Recently, I noticed that it is showing 3.25 GB Usable.
Onboard graphics is disabled as dedicated graphics card is installed.
Why this is happening ?
Please help me out.
Thanks.

Check under Boot, Advanced Options, make sure that maximum memory is checked and shows the 4,096MB of RAM.

Check in your BIOS for an option to enable memory mapping or something like that. If you recently upgraded your BIOS, it could have been reset to disabled.
