• Sudden increase in hardware reserved memory?

  I've had my current PC for 6 years. It has 8 GB of RAM installed and has been since I built it. It is always saved these 8 GB. But as of about a week before, he can use 6 of those, with 2 GB 'Reserved material'. The has not had changes to the material in about a year. The system has nothing hardware wise that can justify the taking of a quarter of my memory.

  Anyway to recover this memory?

  Specifications:

  CPU: i7 920 (this CPU has no integrated graphics)

  RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz modules (4x2Go). (Triple channel)

  Graphics card: GTX 760 (2 GB of VRAM).
  Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD3R

  OS: Windows 7 Pro (sp1)

  Hi Andy,.

  Thank you for your response.

  I have my apologies for the delay in response. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will definitely help you with this.

  The amount of memory usable are not exact amounts. Usable memory is a calculated amount of total physical memory, less "reserved equipment." I suggest you refer to the below given link and check if it helps.

• VMware Player tells me to 'host reserved RAM', but the option does not exist.  Is there a command for vmx to this file?

  I am running VMware Player on a host Ubuntu 14.04, Win 7 pro x 64 comments.  When I start the client OS VMWare gives me this warning

  

  So I want to allow the use of the "reserved host RAM" option instead of playing with the pagefile, but setting told me to doesn't seem to exist in VMware Player

  

  Is there something I can add to the VMX file to enable this option?

  Porto Richardson wrote: this setting for VMware Player is found in the file config.ini to the player %allusersprofile%/VMware/VMware

  The OP said "I'm under VMware Player on a Ubuntu 14.04 host" so the file name and path you mentioned is not applicable.

  @LukeJS host on a Ubuntu (Linux) from the file name won't get the .ini extension and will be simply called the config and will be parked at/etc/vmware /.  So with the machine virtual shutdown is not suspended and VMware Player closed then a Terminal used the following command.

  sudo nano/etc/vmware/config

  Then add the following line.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  It is essentially the same parameter that gets the value of the UI of VMware Workstation preferences for submission in response to the message that despite the instructions contained in the message does not exist in the VMware Player preferences user interface.

• Hardware upgrade - Ram

  Product: HP DV6-3217TU

  Product no.: LQ916PA

  Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - Bit

  Hello HP,.

  I need to apply my RAM upgrade, now I'm using 2 * 2 = 4 GB of ram ddr3 an i want to upgrade to 8 GB ddr3 ram...

  I have 2 memoryslots...

  Can I install a single 8 GB of ddr3 ram in one slot, or should I use 2 * 4 = 8 GB ram...

  Service and maintenance for your notebook Guide it seems to a single stick of 8 GB is a no-go. You will get a functioning dual channel with two 4 GB memory modules. Be sure and guaranteed purchase only the compatible memory modules if you want it to run as planned, just after having upgraded.

  

• HP Pavilion dv6-2165tx - 3 GB hardware reserved memory

  Hi all

  I recently upgraded my RAM to 3 GB, 6 GB. But when I check the properties of the computer, it shows 6.00 GB available (2.99 GB of usable RAM)

  OS - Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium

  Original configuration RAM - 1 GB RAM 1 x and 1 x 2 GB RAM in both slots.

  Configuration upgrade RAM - 1 x 2 GB of RAM and 1 x 4 GB of RAM

  Measures already carried out-

  1. install the BIOS firmware latest version

  2 there is no Configuration of the Chipset to adjust memory remapping in BIOS

  3 unchecked - MSconfig > Boot > Advanced Options > memory Maximum

  4 resource monitor > memory tab

  

  5. I have nVidia GEForce video card, but don't know if it is that which is eaten my RAM

  6 BIOS information shows 6144 MB of available RAM

  7 changed the RAM sticks, but no change

  8. the two sticks are very good because the BIOS displays 6 GB of available RAM

  Please suggest if I can do something to get this corrected.

  Thanks in advance

  I think I ordered the wrong configuration.

  Need RAM 1333 Mhz, but the one I have is 1600 Mhz RAM. Reorganize the correct configuration

  Found the config in RAM for Pavilion DV6

• Installation of Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on DV6 2165TX

  Hello

  I had posted earlier on the unused hardware reserved RAM when I upgraded my RAM to 3 GB, 6 GB. Link pasted below

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/HP-Pavilion-DV6-2165tx-3GB-hardware-RESE...

  I have suggested that I install 64-bit windows.

  I tried to create the bootable USB key, but it simply doesn't. Have tried the steps as mentioned in the following links

  USB bootable - Windows 7 key

  Installation Windows 7 64 bit

  In brief -

  ISO downloaded 64-bit Windows

  Approach 1-

  1 downloaded Windows7 USB DVD Download Tool and created a USB of my 32-bit Windows 7 OS drive

  2. the installation program has not completed. Received error "utility could not create the boot sector on the USB key.

  Approach 2

  1 used my laptop desktop - download Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool and created a drive of my Windows 7 64-bit OS

  2. installation completed successfully

  3 Connecting USB in my DV6, and click on "setup.exe" in the USB

  4. has received the error "this version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows that you use...". "

  Approach 3

  1 used my laptop desktop - download Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool and created a drive of my Windows 7 64-bit OS

  2. installation completed successfully

  3. change the order of boot in my DV6 - to charge from USB

  4. start Windows gets stuck on "windows loading files" and keeps restarting all stuck in the same loop

  Then, when I try to create the bootable USB of my laptop DV6 32 bit, I get an error. When I create my computer laptop desk, my DV6 won't start him.

  I read in one of the positions that

  • You can only create a USB stick bootable Windows 7 64 - bit flash player if your current Windows 7 installation is 64-bit also.
  • You can create a USB stick bootable Windows 7 32 - bit flash player if your current Windows 7 installation is 32-bit or 64-bit.

  I think that even if I try to burn a DVD, it will be the same question

  Can you please.

  Thank you in advance.

  Found the problem...

  I got 6 GB RAM inserted in the notebook (4 + 2 GB sticks).

  I removed the newly isnerted memory stick 4 GB and replaced the original configuration that is 1 GB + 2 GB RAM

  Windows booted from my USB and I installed 64-bit Windows OS.

  Well that now the purpose of installing64bit what OS is still not reached... as the new Windows does not start when I put the 4 GB of RAM in all configurations

  Thank you.

• Compaq presario cq62 available memory problem

  HAV CQ62 with 32-bit amd processor windows 7. OK came with 4gig RAM.  SYSTEM to CHECK that this gives 4gig ram and the RAM available media 2.99gig. OK so update the 8gig Ram to run faster, but it always has in the area of the SYSTEM memory available is stil 2.99gig. Check the resource monitor and it is much too hardware reserved RAM greater than 5, 000mbites. Don't put the bios to F036 more later still no joy... So makes no difference if ram increass or decrease the maximum value available for use is still not more not less 2.99gig. How can I get this laptop to use more ram. Just won't happen and even went in the bios before and after upgrade it and problem still HAV run out of solutions, tried to change things in bios and tried mapping for ram, but this laptop can not find in the bios like in the series c700... must be a way easier to solve the problem and just ridiculous amount of ram reserved for material that cannot change. I have another laptop cq62 series processor is intel 64-bit win 7 and set at the same level system size of ram and it works well and only left 300 MB of ram reserved for strange material... I even swapped the sims that laptop and put in the earlier one and by the way the 4gig memory probs cq62 model is cq62-115tx single horn well resource monitor Ok AMD PROCESSOR has these numbers:-MATERIAL reserved 5131MB, in COURSE OF USE 1143 MB, updated THE 81 MB, STANBY 923 MB, 913 MB FREE and summarized the AVAILABLE States 1836 MB down caching 101MB, MO 36061 TOTAL, 8192 MB INSTALLED... SO if modified installed 4192 mb or 4gig ratio breaks down, but the MATERIAL RESERVE remains the same... OK if I PUT on 2GIG SIM in the phone starts not at all no matter what so help dilemma Please guys

  As long as you have a Windows license key for typing in the prompt, it should work.

  If the PC supports the 64-bit installation disk at startup I'm sure that all of the internal components will have 64-bit drivers.  Plug in the main series is the processor. If it is not 64-bit, you can go no further.

  You cannot run the disk 64-bit from the desktop. You will have to boot from it.

• 6 GB installed (3.48 GB usable)

  Pavilion P6-2120

  The computer comes with 6 GB of physical RAM installed (DIMM 1 X 4 GB DIMMS 1 X 2 GB)

  Originally, I noticed that in the menu system, it has shown memory (RAM) installed 6 GB (1.48 GB usable)

  I decided to swap the DIMMs and now it shows installed memory (RAM) 6 GB (3.48 GB usable)

  I was unable to find anything in the BIOS to change the amount of memory allocated video or any other way to change the hardware reserved RAM. I've updated the driver for chipset AMD directly from AMD.com but did not find an update of the BIOS for the motherboard.

  It would seem that the system can see the 2 slot, but fails to make available in Windows.

  

  

  Hello

  The system recognizes all of the 6 GB.  There are a few common situations that could cause what you are experiencing.

  1. the memory under MSCONFIG allocation fund is verified and must be unchecked.  You need to open the window RUN, enter MSCONFIG--> Boot--> advanced and make sure that the memory box is disabled.

  2. the AMD APU reserves video memory in advance, but the system automatically redirect some if necessary. Some computers have a bios option to change buffers of UMA, but I do not think that your PC has this option.

  3. the graphics driver is defective. Try to reinstall the original driver from HP.

• Reserved hardware memory

  Hello

  I have 6 GB of RAM and Windows 7 32-bit. When I checked the system information, the RAM show 6 GB but only usable 2.94 GB. I checked the resource monitor and the reserved equipment use 3130 MB so I have 3014 MB left.
  My Question:
  1. Why reserved equipment use so much memory?
  2. Is it possible to reduce hardware reserved memory?
  3. Some people say, to use more than 4 GB of RAM, I need to install the 64-bit. Is it possible to use more than 4 GB of RAM in 32-bit? (The reason that I don't want to install 64-bit because it is not compatible)

  My Question:

  1. why the reserved equipment use so much memory?
  2. is it possible to reduce hardware reserved memory?

  All versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just XP/Vista/7/8) have a
  Address 4 GB of space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the
  theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.

  But you can't use the whole address space. Even if you have a
  Address space of 4 GB, you can only use around 3. 1 GB of RAM. It's
  because some of the space is used by the hardware and is not available for
  operating system and applications. The amount you can
  use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can
  range from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around
  GB 3.1. Your 2.94 GB is just a bit below average.

  Note that the hardware is using the space, not the real address
  The RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM
  goes unused because there is no address to map space to.

  3. some people say, to use more than 4 GB of RAM, I need to install the 64-bit.

  That is right.

  Is it possible to use more than 4 GB of RAM in 32-bit?

  N ° why do you want. If would you not better
  performance depends on what applications run you, but for most people, running
  a common range of office applications, there is no improvement.

  (The reason that I don't want to install 64-bit because it is not compatible)

  Not compatible with what? How do you know?

• Tecra A10-112 - cannot use 8 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my TECRA A10 - 112 PTSB1E (Windows 7 and Server 2008), when I upgrade to 6 GB ram (1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB), there is no problem what so ever (52 MB hardware reserved + 5700 MB useful) Windows.

  But when I go to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) I get material dedicated to the memory of 4297MB and 3129MB of memory used (under windows) and I can not find how to reduce it to 6 GB levels. The bios sees 8GB, windows detects the 8 GB and the fact CPUID. I tried to update my BIOS on Toshiba support site, but I get "Computer not supported" message when I run the update file, I downloaded at Toshiba.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It would be interesting to know which modules of memory you use exactly. You use the noname or high quality, e. g. Kingston modules?

  Maybe the modules are not fully compatible, so you should test the other modules.

  Also, what program/tool tells you this information on reserved hardware memory? If the BIOS and Windows recognize 8 GB, everything should be ok.

• my computer does not use all of my ram

  I havd this problem before 10, but now its become a problem for me. I can only use 7.22 on my 8 GB of ram. And now when I open my application such as monitoring high game like black ops 3 and 2, he is using barley any what ram then it did when I had windows 8. It now uses 500 000 but before used as 1 000 500

  Hello

  It is quite normal because the machine must reserve RAM for video card especially in material. I can show you a machine that needs to use the 96 GB of RAM for hardware:

  Hi all.

  First sorry for my bad English. So the problem is my laptop has 4GB (2x2gb). I buy 1x4Go and I want to run with 6 GB. When I install my laptop (1x2Go/1x4Go) run in the bios write 6144 mb.

  But wen the bsod from windows... beginning some time the gel on the Welcome to windows and bsod screen.
  I tried evrerything run with 6 GB no success (once and show me the material 802 MB reserved after the next reboot bsod).

  Some time is running in Mode safe and write some use ram with linux Hardware Reserved.Under I have not problems: installed X 6 GB and no problem. A friend tells me that my shared video memory card to do conflict and cannot calculate the ram. Can I DISABLE my shared video card memory.

  The video card is not integrated.
  I'll give you all the information you will need...: «(want to just run this computer with 6 GB of ram... and no bsod...»

  I have test the ram. (NEW Corsair 1x4Go RAM) Memtest
  Don't test everything no problems with the hardware.
  Reinstall the windows (x 64) only.
  Stop the SuperFetch service.
  Install windows patches.

  I thing if I disable the shared video (hypermemory) will fix the problem but how to disable? Have all of the options for this in the bios.

  Nice story, but the question is: you use the memory modules live compatible?
  In your long announce didn t post part number and manufacturer of your Ram for upgrade.

  Is that compatible RAMs will work perfectly and there is nothing you have to change, especially not some options of memory sharing that don t even exist.

  By the way:
  4 GB of RAM compatible have part number PA3670U-1M4G. Use this RAM and you won't have any problems, especially BSOD. BSOD is clear evidence that there is compatibility problem.
