64 bit computer 8 GB of RAM but windows shows only usable 3.25

OK, I got the original 6GB (3x2gb) RAM (1600), installed on a MSI 880GM-E43 motherboard and a Phenom II X 4 (I think either 3.6 or 4.0 Ghz) and windows all read well. I buy a new motherboard Gigabyte 970 a - UD3 and another key to 2 GB RAM and install. Now when I go to windows, it says properties

"Memory (live RAM) installed: 8.00 GB (3.25 GB usable). So firstly that I went into the BIOS to check if it shows the correct information and he did. Then I changed my CPU speed clocked 3.4 to 4.0 Ghz. I loaded windows and he always says the same thing "memory (RAM) installed: 8.00 (3.25 GB usable)" and now, the processor has not changed either "processor: AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 965 3.40 GHz processor". " I even reinstalled the new drivers and it still shows the same info.
CAN ANYONE HELP!
Specifications of the computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X 4 - 4.0GHz
Kingston HyperX Blu 8 GB (4x2Go)
Gigabyte a 970 - UD3
VisionTek Radeon HD 5750

Strangely, even if the memory is entered correctly, it stil reports way less. Don't know why but files seems to correct the problem...

No doubt you are overclocking... 'Properties' always reports the chip actually, not the speed it is running at a time. Was it to do, it is time when your chip would show at 800 mhz... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... :-)

    Hi @minxfiles ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    This is a good place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums Learn how Post and more

    I understand that you have 6 GB of ram and it is only readable 929 reading.

    Just to be sure you're correct DDR3 ram installation?

    Installing the chips of RAM, they must be of the type suitable and properly matched.  You can have 2 @2 for 4 GB of ram or 2@4 GB to 8 GB of ram. To have 6 GB of ram, you would need 1@6 GB to 6 GB of ram.

    If you have added a 4 GB of ram with the original 2 is it came with, it is very likely what is causing the problem.

    Good luck!

  • IN my pc, I have 2 GB ram.but it shows 1GB.why?

    IN my pc, I have 2 GB ram.but it shows 1 GB.

    Why?

    Probably because half of the RAM is bad or badly installed.

    Has your computer ever all of the 2 GB?  If so, what happened between the last time, he did and now?

    Have you recently installed more RAM?

    What is the brand and model of the computer?

    How many sticks of RAM is installed: 1 x 2 GB; 2 x 1 GB; 4 x 512 MB; etc. ?

  • Satellite A200-1hv - 4 GB of RAM but system see only 3.1 GB

    Hello

    I have the problem. recently, I bought 4 GB of RAM for my Satellite A200-1hv but system see only 3.1 GB.
    And yes I have tested also on 64-bit vista 64 and Linux 64 systems. In both cases, it shows only 3.1 GB.

    Also when I boot my laptop on the BIOS POST screen it test only 3.1 GB of RAM memory not 4 GB.
    The funny is that when I enter in the BIOS setup, and then in the main settings tab, it shows 4GB.

    Why?
    In the specification, it is written that this laptop supports 4 GB of RAM, but it is NOT!

    I have the laptop A100-847-PSAA9E-0R101QAR and I have 4 GB of ram installed on it.
    Yesterday, I installed Win7 64-bit system but when I check the properties of the computer, I see only:

    Installed memory (Ram): 4 GB (3.00 GB usable)
    System type: 64-bit Operating System

    What should I do to use my full 4 GB of ram?

    Hello

    To be abele to use 4 GB of RAM, three components of the laptop should support the 4 GB.

    -OS Win
    -Chipset
    -BIOS

    If one of these parts would not support 4 GB of RAM then you will not be able to get full access 4 GB.

    You use Win 64 bit that s ok so now only the chipset or BIOS can cause this problem
    Check the chipset and the Intel page research if the chipset is 4 GB of RAM capable.
    If the chipset would be 4 GB RAM capable then the question is releated to the BIOS.

    Good bye

  • 4 GB of RAM, but 2, 99 GB usable on NB510-117

    Hello world

    I bought the netbook NB510-117 one a few months ago and I recently upgraded the memory to 4 GB. So, in order to exploit all the RAM, I installed windows 7 ultimate which recognizes the memory up to 4 GB. The problem is that in the properties of my computer says Windows ' installed memory: 4 GB (2 GB usable 99).

    Obviously the RAM I bought is appropriate ([4 GB DDR3 1066 Mhz | http://s16.postimage.org/4yu4q0zph/Capture.png])

    What is going on?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Which version of Win 7 system do you use?
    Win 7 32 bit recognizes only 3.2 GB
    Win 7 64 bit can handle more than 4 GB of RAM.

    It was not a problem as long as I have didn't ' tt start Windows Vista.

    In the back when the memory is counting upp there are 4 GB (40XX something) but when I loggen into victory. There is only 3 GB left.

    Whence my A200 Sat stuck the other 1 GB?
    I have now that the graphics card takes upp to 250 MB, but there are still some 750 GB is not there?

    Is there anyone who can help me and solve this problem, I'm just 100% satisfied with my A200 but it buggs me that is missing 750MO I SEAP for.

    Hey Buddy

    For several years he s already known that the Windows 32 bit doesn t recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  • My computer is on a network, but Windows 7 (Pro x 64) shows that it is not. Cannot change network location to home. Cannot use the homegroup.

    I'm putting my network (with homegroup) home, but when I go into control panel > network and Internet > homegroup, it says:

    "This computer cannot connect to a homegroup." Then,

    "To create or join a homegroup, network location of your computer must be on home."

    Okay so. I go to network and sharing Center and click on "connect to a network" and I get a box in the lower right corner that says "no connection available.

    I find that strange, because when I click on 'My Computer', I see in the left pane all the computers in my house under 'Network'... so I'm in network... but I'm not?

    It is a problem because until I am able to add this computer, I am unable to share the data on this computer and it is my office alone AND the pc is connected to my router.

    I can not access my storage drive. I can't stream media.

    All opinions are appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    Check the Device Manager for the entry of valid card of the wire.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a Local Area Connection icon/entry, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Connect you to the menu of the router from a work computer and make sure DHCP is on, and it is configured to assign IPs which can cover the number of computers that are connected (a bit more will be even better).

    Turn off the computer and the router, reset the router and the computer.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    It still does not work, try this too.

    Firewall software.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall Windows Firewall should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly, or uninstall it completely allowing the clean flow of traffic on the local network. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    Reset the network stacks .

    Type Cmd in the search text box.

    Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

    Type netsh winsock reset at the command prompt and press the Enter key.

    Do the same process to refresh the TCP/IP, just replace the command typed with.

    netsh int ip reset

    Restart the computer.

  • Satellite L50D-C-18J - two modules of RAM but single track only

    Hi all

    A few days ago I got the Toshiba Satellite L50D-C-18J with A10 - 8700P AMD processor.

    Factory 1 with 8 GB (DDR3L 1600 MHz) memory module are installed. According to various tools (AIDA64, HWInfo64, CPU - Z), the memory will operate at 668 MHz, that is to say 1333 MHz mode.

    The free memory slot I have with another 8 GB DDR3L held at 1600 MHz (with the same memory timings, but other manufacturers). The Bank will continue to operate only in single channel mode and not in dual channel mode. The A10 CPU should support.

    I have installed the latest version of the BIOS.

    We have an idea of how I have the dual-channel mode and can set the frequency of the memory? In the BIOS, there is unfortunately almost no parameter or someone has the same laptop model and with it dual-channel mode is running?

    Thanks and greetings

    Mario

    Hello. Another manufacturer is not a problem.
    You should check the following:
    (1) make sure that the two RAM modules operating at 1.35v. Search the Internet, what should be the supply voltage of the RAM you have installed. If this does not work at 1.35v then that's the problem.
    (2) whether these RAM modules supports ECC. If one of your RAM supports ECC and the other is not, that's the problem.

    However, although the computer does not seem to run much faster, when I look at the properties of the system in the main general tab, it's only show that there is 1.99 GB it is a problem with the Ram, or is it just a glich with the System Properties window.

    All other system checks indicate that there are 2 GB in the comp... The ram I installed is corsair ddr2 sodimm 667 mhz/pc25300.
    {Any help with this will be appreciated thanks in advance: 8}

    I don t think that it is a problem of memory modules (RAM live).
    What is the BIOS reports?

    Still that memory could be shared with the GPU (graphics card), and the windows OS also uses some of the memory

    Don t you worry and there is everything ok ;)
