Why is most of my Ram hardware reserved (old noob)

[Hildahoop]

Hi guys I am trying to work out why my wife's computer is slowing down. I have noticed over half of my ram is reserved. I have an on board graphics cards Gigabyte 720 and i have portable hard drive as back up. other than that I cannot really think of anything that would be hogging ram. i seem to have the latest bios and i have checked the box for max ram is unticked.
Any ideas?
I would post all my info but i am not sure how to do it. I have screen shot my resources and will attatch it to the post (i hope)

Check the number of items in Startup. Which are not needed?

Because you have on board graphics, if you had a discrete graphics card, that number would most likely come down.

Sorry I think I have used the wrong terminology my Graphics card was bought as an upgrade and is plugged in the Pcie slot is this a discrete card?

Every motherboard and video card are different and will give you different numbers, I would get a modern card and that hardware reserve number should change, but that`s not guarrenteed.

Did you look in the bios to see if there are any optionsyou can change as far as the dedicated system video memory ?

Usually it`s just shared, you`d have to look in computer properties to see what`s actually going on.

You really need to add some memory to your PC, if possible.

I have added 4 gigs of Ram and most of that has been reserved too.
