RAM being weird

[sorewahimitsu]

So basically, I got 8GB of RAM (2x4) and in my BIOS it says I have the full 8GB installed and adjusted to the right frequency, But when I load up onto Windows it says I only have 5.95GB. And whenever I look it up on youtube or the general internet I just get told how to fix the '' 8GB Installed (5GB usable) '' thing. Anyone know how to fix that?

What's the rest of your system specs?

 

First gut reaction is if you have a processor with integrated graphics, it might be that. Though, I rarely see the default being 2GB.

I do have integrated graphics, I have no graphics card though, Is there anything I can do about the this then? 

 

My specs are

Ryzen 3 3200G

1TB HDD

520w Seasonic PSU

Then the 8GB Ram

Go into the UEFI settings and manually set a lower amount of RAM the integrated GPU is allowed to use and see if that changes anything. If it does, adjust the amount to taste depending on what you do with the PC.
