High memory usage

[TinyBolts]

I have 16gb 3000mhz ram, but my memory usage on task manager is very high. Anyone knows why this is happening? Maybe u can also spot some other problems since I don't know much when it comes to ram and stuff :P.

for some reason it's detecting 16GB with 2 DIMMs correctly but only allowing you to use 8GB, with hardware reserved as 8GB

check inside of BIOS for something that might have to do with that, but other than that, I have no idea how to help  something about reserved memory I think

Hardware reserved: 8,1GB

High hardware reserved ram is almost always related to BIOS.  Make sure you have the newest BIOS available and you may even want to reflash it even if it is the newest as BIOS can sometimes become corrupt.

Also, your memelty is only running at 2133MHz (CPU-Z says 1067, but same thing). You have to manually OC your RAM (or XMP) to get 3000MHz. This is unrelated to your issue of only being able to use 8GB
