I installed 6 GB of RAM, but only 2 GB can be used

Hi I looked for an answer to my request, but I found the same answer everywhere and it does not

I run Windows 7 64 bit and I have 6 GB of installed RAM (Yes in the system it says that its installed) BUT

He said also only 2 GB of ram is usable out of that 6 GB?

Now, my GPU (Asus geforce gtx 470) says in the manual it has 1 GB of memory dedicated, so that leaves 3 GB missing lol

In my BIOS my PC says I have 2 GB of TOTAL ram? Now, it's an important goal. I have an Asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard. Any help as to how I can check if the ram IS working properly or how to make this usable ram?

Thank you!

What RAM do you use? Also update the BIOS, please. Remove the gain of RAM and put it back. Maybe it is not properly installed. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

  • Why the system writes: installed 4 GB of ram, but usable only 3.6 GB of ram?

    3.6 GB is a very good number - much higher than most people's.

    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 (and as I
    said, you do much better than that). This is because some of
    This space is used by the hardware and is not available for the operation
    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
    3. 1 GB.

    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.

  • RAM is not visible, I have 16 GB installed in the case (4x4Go), but only 8 GB has, even in the BIOS. All the 4 sticks of RAM are the same brand and compatible with my motherboard.

    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, which limit memory is 16 GB, so this isn't the issue.
    I got a few BSOD - 0 x 00000109 - errors that I work.
    I ran memtest86 for a few hours and he scored 4 errors during test cycles 7.
    These memtest errors concern the bars invisible RAM or the work those?
    Any ideas as to what should I do next?
    See you soon!
    Data sheet:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Intel Core i7-3820 @ 3.6 GHz
    ASUS P9X79
    GeForce GTX 650
    Team elite Dual Channel DDR3 4 GB 1333 Mhz x 4

    Thanks Joel,

    I started to individually test RAM when I noticed a quirk in the way they were organized in their locations.
    I downloaded the manual for my P9X79 and he confirmed that they were arranged in mirror mode.
    I switched two of the sticks to adjacent slots and, Lo and behold, the full 16 GB presented at startup.
    So that's one mystery solved at least.
    I'll raise the memtest to see if it includes several errors and if so will continue to individually control the RAM sticks.
    Thanks again.

  • Z800: 40 GB of usable ram but only 24GO

    Hello world

    Need help on setting up the RAM.

    I have a Z800, running win7 ultimate with 24 GB by default

    I added 16 GB of RAM but only 24 GB usable

    I've been in the msconfig and uncheck maxium memory then restarts, but nothing does not change.

    any advice?

    Thank you!!!

    Is it a device configured with a processor single or double processors?

    Only a two-way configuration allows more than 24 GB of memory, see page 10-11

  • I bought around ten year 7 Photoshop and Indesign etc and now I'm using only Photoshop 7. Three months ago I installed Windows 10 and now the ad once I can't use my Photoshop 7 more. Should wat I do?

    The oldest is compared to newer operating systems, it is less likely to work.  If you have been happy with the help of Photoshop 7 then you should be happy with the old operating system as well.  Your options are either to return to a system that supports your software or to buy new software to go with the new system.  CS6 products are still selling as far as I know.  In addition, your only option is to subscribe to the cloud of Creative for Photoshop CC.

  • I just uploaded a clip of mpeg streams but tells me I can't use it without a mpeg-2 Playback component.  Can you recommend what to buy?

    I just uploaded a clip of mpeg streams but tells me I can't use it without a mpeg-2 Playback component.  Can you recommend what to buy?

    You can use Streamclip for most cases, but to play MPEG-2 files, like. VOB files, and to convert them to other formats, you should buy the reading component QuickTime MPEG-2 for Mac OSX, you can get online from the Apple Store for $19.99.

    However, I am under El Capitan like you, and when I tried to install the MPEG-2 component, I got a message that it could not be installed on my

    disk because the app was for an earlier version of my OS.  I don't know if others have had this problem, but I thought that I could

    mention it to you before you passed the $20.00.

  • Installed to 32 GB of RAM but only 16 GB usable

    I have an iMac 27 ", end of 2013 model. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on it via BootCamp.

    I ordered (4) 8 GB of RAM from Crucial.com and install myself.

    Now iMac says he sees the 32 GB but only 16 GB is usable. I have already confirmed on the Apple Support site that this computer can indeed be upgraded to 32 GB. What I'm doing wrong or have not yet done?

    Did you leave the original Ram in and simply added, or have you put 4 new Ram modules that you suggest and take the original outside?

  • HP 1000-1312tu had installed 6 GB of ram, but it shows only 929 usable

    my laptop running windows 7 ultimate x 32 .intel (r) Pentium (r) @2. 40 GHz I have 6 GB of ram installed and usable only 929. I already tried many things and I can't do bugs... Please help me

    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!

  • Satellite L20: Installed 1 GB of RAM, but OS see 894MB RAM

    Hello

    I have 2x512mb ram installed in my Sat L20 but system says I only have 894 MB of ram, this means that there is some kind of problem? Thanks for your help.

    If the video card uses system RAM to increase the VRAM, then it is normal.

    Run dxdiag and look in the graphics section.

  • I have 4 GB of RAM, but only 3.75 GB are usable/available: why?

    I bought a desktop computer Dell Inspiron 400 in 2010.

    It has a processor AMD Athlon 2650c installed with a captivity of memory RAM of 4 GB but only 3.75 GB is usable or available, why? Where's the other Go.25?

    There are a few possibilities.  If you use a 32-bit operating system, there is not enough bits of address (to use) more than this amount of memory, so the rest (le.25) is literally inaccessible to the system.

    If you have a 64 bit OS and it still shows, it is because your system is reserving some of them to be used for low level such as video memory system functions.

  • Tecra 9100 - installed like 512 MB RAM, but it slowed down my computer!

    After much fumbling around trying to install my new 512 MB of RAM, I turned on my computer to find that it starts much more slowly. A message popped up saying 'Memory Module added' and my computer shows 768 MB is installed which is correct, because I already have 256 MB installed in Slot 1.

    So why on Earth is my computer even slower! I bought it to speed up the thing! My computer is slow to start, is less sensitive and much better with just the 256 MB of RAM installed.

    I think I might have damaged the RAM or the Slot 2 because at first, I inserted it incorrectly. They should have a video demo on how to install it because the manual didn't help me that much!

    The RAM is crucial and supports my cell phone because I ran tests to determine what RAM I need.

    Can someone help me please!

    Hello

    Well, it is possible that the new RAM is malfunctioning.

    But have you checked the speed of RAM? How much MhZ is the module supports?

    The Tecra 9100 supports PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) module and it runs at 266 MHz.
    If the new module supports a lower speed that the old second module will work also with lower speed.

    Moreover, I would not recommend using modules without name. The performance is bad. Kingston modules are much better.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - 2GM RAM but only 896 MB recognized

    Hello
    I have the same model and similar problem then would not start a new thread.

    I just removed the stick a 512 mb and replaced with 2 sticks of 1 GB, but when I check in system information it shows only 896 MB.
    This should be about 1 800 MB, I think.
    What I have to change all the settings so that it can recognize the two sticks?

    Dave W

    Hello

    There s no need to change the settings in order to recognize all the RAM.
    The BIOS should detect the two RAM modules automatically.

    In your case I suppose that a module of RAM was not recognized and therefore shows only 896 MB.
    The small part of RAM is located by the graphics card and is why it shows only 896 MB.
