The memory mismatch wouldn't make sense because these exact RAM cards have worked together for 2 years on gigabyte mobos I don't know where the max memory limit would be, but I don't think it is that because the usable is always 50% of whatever my total ram is, be it 4, 8 or 12. In which case, test it in sets of two (making sure to use the 1+3 slots or 2+4 slots for correct duel channel), then keep with just two memory sticks (not 3 or 4 - 3 will disable duel channel and 4 is physically damaged and probably can't be repaired without a motherboard replacement). Originally posted by DoubleP2k:I have do dig up the RAM specsw but I have been using them for over a year and this problem is newģ) You have a damaged motherboard RAM slot. If MHZ or CL timing is different between them, the motherboard attempts to default to the slowest speed too.ģ) You have a damaged motherboard RAM slot. You can't have 1.5V working next to a 1.65V memory set, for example. Check if memory is 1.5V (standard) and not higher. Most likely different voltages will cause the issue. I have do dig up the RAM specsw but I have been using them for over a year and this problem is newġ) You have set a max memory limit on your system (normally found under the BIOS).Ģ) You have mis-matched memory, different specs / voltage settings. While you are at least, also ensure XMP profile is enabled and selected. Under BIOS > Advance memory settings > Ensure max memory limit isn't checked. What memory are you installing (brand / specs) and into what slots? They are all the same specs right? Note the colour coding RAM slots (matching duel channel memory isn't placed next to each other rather it's in odd or even slots - 1+3 or 2+4 work together). Hardware Reserved should never exceed 20MB~30MB + 64MB~512MB.

I know enough to know that Windows should not be locking me out of 50% of RAM I mean usable as in System info says: Installed memory (RAM): 12.0GB (5.97GB usable). Also System Reserve is set aside for the Operating System not to get drowned out if a memory leak or hog occurs. Windows at any time can release the Standby / Cached memory, when it needs more for application/game running. Under your Windows Resource Monitor, you will see (Hardware reserved, In Use, Modified, Standy, Free).

Windows will press itself more into using memory (why waste it), app/game dlls will be loaded into memory and kept there rather than swapping in/out all the time.ĤGB = Game (normally a game would use 1-3GB)ĦGB = Free (or up to 12GB available, if the OS doesn't hog it and you don't have game/app running) When you say it's usable, do you mean as in it's free memory?
