Posted August 27, 2023 About a month ago, I put 2 sticks of Corsair Vengence Pro RAM (2x16Gb 3200Mhz) in my computer. When I look at Task Manager, to see how much RAM is now in my computer, I see that half of my RAM is hardware reserved. It wasn’t like that before. I download the Corsair iCue software, update my GPU drivers (just in case), updated Windows, and still half of it was hardware reserved. So then I thought maybe the Corsair kit was bad so naturally, I took out the RAM and used my old sticks and same thing… Half of my RAM was hardware reserved. I’ve looked through the BiOS already for some weird setting but couldn’t find anything. I have a Gigabyte B450M-DS3H Mobo, Ryzen 5 2600X, and an ASUS 1660 Ti Phoenix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 27, 2023 Have you tried to swap the sticks of RAM around on the motherboard? And double check to make sure they're in the correct slots. If you have the manual you can look in there and it will tell you which slots to use first. If those don't work try swapping them around. Last thing I can suggest would be to run a windows memory diagnostic. Hopefully one of those works for you.
