RAM with Y550P problem

Hello world.

SHORT VERSION:

I have a Y550P with Windows 7 64 bit and it says I have 4 GB but only 1.99 GB can be used. Is it acceptable that she says? Is there a way I can have use all 4 GB?

LONG VERSION:

I just bought a lenovo Y550P and everything was fine until what I checked properties system under WIndows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit. Where it showed that I had 2 GB of RAM when the laptop is supposed to get 4 GB. So I checked the BIOS and showed it to 2048 MB (2 GB) which led me to believe that it was a BIOS issue. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS from the lenovo support site and installed correctly.

He showed 4096 MB in the BIOS, which I was happy to see. Started in Windows fine then checked system properties and Task Manager and I was disappointed to see "4,00 (1.99 GB usable) GB in properties system and total physical memory in the task manager has been '2038'.

Windows Experience Index gives my memory a 5.5 when it is supposed to get a 7.3 or more? I hear that Windows has some memory funky remapping feature that could do it. Could this be it? If Yes, how can I I turn it off? If this isn't the case, then what could be the cause to say that only 1.99 GB are usable?

Thanks in advance.

  • I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012 edition, i7 and 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of RAM DDR3 (1600 MHz). Can I add any RAM with this config?

    I want to upgrade my RAM 16 GB (2x8GB) and also to change the hard drive (750 GB) to a 250 GB SSD. I was going through the forum and people have posted that they have improved their RAM with no problems. I visited the local electronics market and is the knowledge that they have a Kingston 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. I just want to know if it is safe to add that RAM for my MBP or not? One of my friends told me that the MBP requires a different sort of RAM so I am confused. In addition, I was intending to buy a single 8 GB and set up my MBP with 12 GB (8 + 4) RAM and then replace the other 4 GB with an 8 GB to make eventually 16GB. Will there be a problem with this approach? Also can I add any SSD fits laptops from my system? I found an SSD 240 GB (uv300) Kingston. Please suggest if I can add that.

    You can fit a maximum of 16 GB, if you choose compatible Ram.

  • Ram SA60-332 problem

    I have a Satellite SA30-332 with a memory of 256 MB but the bios and the windows system information shows that the memory is only 192 MB. In addition, the computer runs very slowly especially at startup. Can someone help me solve this problem.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    your Satellite A30-332 has a video card with shared memory! either your video card has no own graphics RAM so that it shares the RAM with the memory of 'normal '!

    The A30 has an Intel 852GM chipset with integrated graphics. Intel 852GM has a dynamic RAM that passes automatically from 32 to 64 MB if more graphic strength is used!

    Don't care not so much, it's alright!

    On slow start up I need practical information to help you! What operating system and Ms are installed (recovery or own MS OS). In what order the laptop is slow, before or after this logon? How long it persists?

  • Need help: X 3100 is 128 MB of RAM with XP on N200 with 2 GB of RAM

    I bought the N200 TY2ELTK Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz 1 GB 160 GB yesterday. Upgrade to 2 GB RAM. Vista pushed 384 MB of video RAM. Today, I downgraded to XP Pro but graphic ram appears as 128 MB.

    Can someone help me with this problem? I expect any suggestions...

    Thank you so much everyone. I see the point. Unless I have install Vista, my vram will be 128 and it is normal. I will keep memory footprint as high level chart. It will do the trick. I need a laptop for my translation work, and it will be much too good for that sort of thing. In the future, I may try Linux. I guess I'll take advantage of this forum a lot. Take care of everyone.

    I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

    This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

  • 8 GB RAM with ssd and ram 12 GB without ssd cache cache

    We are looking to buy a laptop HP Envy 17 t j100 touchsmart for our son.  Which would be better:

    8 GB of RAM with SSD exceleration 24gig or 12 GB of ram without ssd cache memory?

    The cache of WSSD 24gig offers performance very similar to a full SSD drive for a much lower cost. I would buy the unit with the drive cache of the WSSD 24 concert and as little memory as they sell me and then increase the RAM me but 8 GB of RAM it's frankly more than many. In fact, it's probably better than 12 because there 2 identical modules allowing the functioning of memory dual channel. To summarize, the best option is clearly 8 GB RAm and the WSSD of 24 concert disk cache.

  • two drivers of PXI chassis with Configuration problem

    Hello

    I have two PXI chassis. One is PXI 1033 and works perfectly with the NI PXI-5404, 5105, 6509, 1409, installed 8336. The other is 1036 PXI with the PXI-5404 NI, 8366 installed. When I was trying wreath connect, as master 1033, 1036 as slave, I found several problems.

    1. in the Measurement & Automation Explorer, does not have my good guys in 1033. Instead, there is a sign of the Red Cross in bottom right with 6509, 5105, 5404.

    2. I can't find an another 5404 of the 1036. In fact, I can't find 1036 in MAX.

    Update BIOS. My PXI system is already identified under the name 'NOR PXI - 1033 Embedded MXI Express' and Chassis1 is identified as 'NOR PXI 1033'.

    So I made several tests as below:

    1. unscrew the 5404 1036 slave. MAX can configure 2 1036 chassis. Ok. But when I reconnect 5404 in 1036, same result happened as stated above.

    2 uninstall the driver of 5404, so the 5404 in 1033 does not either now. And then reboot again, same result happens again. Cannot detect the 1033 chassis. Other vouchers in 1036 don't work either.

    Please, any suggestion is highly appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    This happens sometimes with MXI-Express:

    If it was a problem of bandwidth, PCI or PXI side, you could pull a few cards to see if that alleviates the problem, or that the link from Microsoft over the States, you can disable the driver for other cards.
