Windows 7 x64 RAM problem
hello guys,
I have a problem with my newly purchased 2 gb RAM.
previously I had been using 3 gb of RAM in my Windows 7 Ultimate x64. anything with the RAM was fine. then I have bought a 2gb RAM today, inserted it to the slot of my notebook and switched on the notebook.
in the system properties I saw this.
3.00 of it was usable.
I replaced the memories in the slots, nothing changed.
Then I did some research on this. I read that doing this might help:
it did not. still 3.00 gb usable.
Then I read that I could alter some setting called "Memory Remapping" in my BIOS, but could not fine one in the BIOS. my notebook is a Toshiba A100-011, and it has an Intel chipset.
Then I discovered these;
"hardware reserved"
then I suspected my graphics card and found this:
My graphics card is an external one as you see, and it has 256 mb of separate memory of itself. It was using only 2mb of the system ram when I was using 2 GB ram, but now it takes up a whole 1500 something.
I do not want that and I want to use this amount for normal system works.
So please tell me a way to make all of the 4.00 GB of ram "usable".
Regards
