win7 64bit only recognizing 6gig of my 8gig of ram

How could it be bios settings if windows "sees" 4gb but says only 2 are useable?

What sort of setting would I be looking for? I've combed through the bios a few times, didn't see anything about disabling or enabling ram...?

just covering what you have looked at:D

I've looked at the bios, didn't see anything. Doesn't mean it's not there... Seems unlikely, but what do I know? I just want it fixed... It's not a bad mobo slot is it? Or could it be? I'll have to run memtest again


Gonna sleep now. Check back in the morning. :yawn

Why is windows 7 marking all my extra RAM as "hardware reserved"? - Super User

Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory - Mark's Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

Even though your video card has onboard, fast, dedicated video memory, Windows still has to address and interact with that memory using the same physical memory addressing that is uses for RAM, PCI devices and other devices. This can crowd the physical address space. 64 bit OS should cope better with this than a 32 bit OS, but it's hands may still be tied some device requirements.

yeah ive looked through the bios, didnt really know what i was looking for though so i may have missed something

doesnt make sense that the gfx card would be robbing 2gb of ram, the card is only a 1gb card

yeah ive looked through the bios, didnt really know what i was looking for though so i may have missed something

doesnt make sense that the gfx card would be robbing 2gb of ram, the card is only a 1gb card

yeah i thought that trying to see if there is a program to tell you whats using it

he said he has checked the bios doc what settings should he be looking at?


As you can see from my avatar, I'm a little brain impaired for the month of October :confused:

Several months ago in a few different threads there was talk of Bios settings that limited memory useage or allocated memory useage to certain areas. I am surprised that some other member has not jumped in on this yet :rolleyes: But on the other hand, probably not all Bios have this option :(

when i mouse over the *hardware reserved* in resource monitor a little pop up says >> *memory that is reserved for use by the BIOS and some drivers for other peripherals* (mines 1 MB in use 3100 MB) so thats a good clue leading to the bios.
