Hardware is using up most of my RAM HP Probook 4530s

Hello and welcome mostly I reckon you should look at what is being used at boot up > Start > type msconfig > right click run as admin and go to the tab Start you will see what is being loaded at boot up you can then work through some of the bloatware which sounds like lot of your problem too and untick them see my on boot pic.

Another helpful thing is this Autoruns for Windows to see what you have running and this for a bit of tuning up-

Hum vaidas thats why I asked re the running processes:)

That`s just the way it is with some motherboards and the way they and windows handles your memory. Just open up task manager>resource monitor>memory. Add up the total and you will see it`s all there. This is a shot of my 64 Bit Compaq with 6 Gigs installed and only 3.5 usable but as you can see it`s all there and hardware reserved.

I'm note sure what to look for in running process for Hardware Reserve.
What does it look like.
Now AddRam picture shows me something.

It wouldn`t be there, it`s memory that`s used for your video card.

Open up your WEI then click on view and print detailed performance. Then go down and look at your total available graphics memory, it should be way higher then the physical memory you have on the card. That`s hardware reserved memory. On this machine my BFG 9600 GT has 512 MB on the card, but it`s total available graphics memory is 2047 MB it`s using 1535 MB from the hardware reserved stock pile.

This would be helpful.

Ya speccy shows you what you have and in each slot. But when you look at Physical memory it may show it wrong.

Speccy does not tell you what`s using your memory either. Good tool though, I`ve always used it for temps also.

Whoa!
Is all of that memory being used by the graphics card?

Here's my RM.
