    Installed memory(RAM): 4GB (2.94GB Usable)


    Hello,

    I have currently 4gb or ram (Im pretty sure that my pc used to detect or make use of it all), however i probably have messed up something and it uses only 3 now! It is win7 build 7068 x64 so technically it should make use of it all. Any suggestions?

    thanks!

    ^ yep, you either have an allocated amount of physical memory dedicated to something else or you don't have memory remapping enabled in your bios.

    i also have the same GPU, and RAM should show 4GB regardless, video ram is dedicated on it's own, and @ 1GB that's amazing, I know..lol
    Refresh your WEI score, and you'll be ok.

    Go to BIOS and enable "Memory Remap".

    The "reserved for hardware" answer is the same one I got when running 32 bit Vista with 4GB a year ago. What is the advantage of using a 64 bit OS with 4Gb ram then? And why are there so many references to win32 when you generate a system health report in Windows 7 64 bit? It looks like this:

    OS Checks
    Operating System Info

    Query
    root\cimv2:SELECT*FROM Win32_OperatingSystem
    root\cimv2:SELECT*FROM Win32_ComputerSystem

    --- or this further down the list ---

    System Services

    Query
    root\cimv2:SELECT __Relpath, Name, Caption, Description, DisplayName, PathName, Started, ExitCode, State, ServiceSpecificExitCode FROM Win32_Service

    with every available/running windows service listed as a "Win32" service after it.

    I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit (which it reports as OS in other places) from Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Here are machine specs.

    Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (latest bios)
    Core 2 Duo E6600
    4GB G-Skill RAM (2x2GB)
    HTO CLARO Sound
    Intel Gigabit CT NIC
    EVGA Nvidia 260 GTX 216 core Video

    THERE IS NO MEMORY REMAP OPTION IN MY BIOS

    If there is no option for memory remapping in your BIOS then you're pretty screwed - I'm in the same situation. 1Gb of my 4Gb RAM on Win7 x64 is 'hardware reserved' and the only way to get past this is having a BIOS that enables memory remapping. I'm taking the issue up with ASUS at the moment, hoping for updated firmware that support memory remapping, I suggest you do the same with your motherboard manufacturer.

    i have the same problem with my pc. Windows 7 64bit 4gb installed 3.87gb usable, could this problem be due to overclocking?
