13.8GB Hardware Reserved Memory

HELP! I was using a 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM. However, in Task Manager it states “Hardware reserved: 5.2GB”. So I went to purchase another 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM stick. The issue now is the Hardware Reserved memory became 13.8GB. I’ve tried msconfig unticking the maximum memory, I’ve also tried changing the Memory Management option is regedit, I’ve switched memory slots of the two memory, restored BIOS to default settings but nothing works. Any idea how to fix this?

if in doubt, update bios, if in doubt again, reinstall windows, if in doubt more, see what linux has to say, if in doubt more, ask someone who isnt me

 

Sadness is the one true emotion, and happiness, well, that's just a lie, sadness is all many of us feel, and is all we need to feel, because having it any other way, would just be wrong, why be happy when you can just be miserable like myself.

Does your motherboard have a Killer network interface by any chance?

I guess not, but probably somehow it could have been showing wrong info. I recommend you to allocate the maximum memory in use by other utilities like prime95. Try to set a large FFT allocating all of the available memory and check how it much the working stack gets up to. If what the info shows turns out to be real, bad for you, you might really have to:

  • reinstall windows
  • update BIOS firmware

console.log("way to pro");
