Windows 7 64 bit is no longer reconising any RAM

Hello

I recently got a Lenovo T510i. He got a Core i5 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a dedicated card nVidia NVS 3100 gfx with 512 MB of RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running. When I got a week ago, he was using all 8 GB of RAM. Having brought to work after a week off and join it to the domain, I noticed that Windows is now saying that 3.92 GB of RAM can be used.

This is the first time I looked at him since the laptop and so don't know when this change occurred.

I tried to start by using the two Maximum memory option in msconfig turned on and off. When I enabled it and tells Windows to use all 8GB, he used only 2.99 GB after rebooting. When turned off, it uses 3.92 GB.

I tried to go into the BIOS and enable the memory remapping feature, but this option is not the in there.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

I decided to download the update of the BIOS again and install it. Well, obviously, I could have updated with the previous wrong version once I've had the laptop and after update now, I 7,86 GB usable. Not sure what happened to the remaining 150 MB, but I can live without it for now.

Thank you for having responded so.

    All versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just Vista/XP/7) have a 4GB
    address space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the
    theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.
     
    But you can not use all of the 4 GB of address space. Even if you
    have a 4 GB address space, you can use * autour * 3. 1 GB of RAM.
    This is because some of the space is used by the hardware and is not
    available for the 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
    3. 1 GB.
     
    Note that the hardware is using the address * space *, not the real
    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.
     
     
     
    You should get 64-bit Windows? It is difficult to answer, because there are
    a lot of factors (see below). But you need exceeds the 3.5 GB of
    RAM, you are able to use? It depends on what applications run you, but for the most
    people, the answer is no.
     
    Here is my standard message on 64-bit Windows:
     
    The advantage of running a 64 bit version of Windows for the most part are
    only if you are also running applications 64-bit under him. Don't forget that
    There is very little such available requests. If you are
    currently running 32-bit Windows, you don't have any 64-bit
    applications, so to get a significant advantage, you not only
    have to replace Windows, but also of your applications, * if * (and it's
    a big "If") are 64-bit versions.
     
    Also note that you will need the 64-bit for all drivers your hardware.
    These drivers may not be available, especially if some of your
    the material is a few years old. So it is possible that you might also
    to replace things like your printer, scanner, etc.
     
    So the answer to your question, it's that it would not be a good idea
    Right away. This will no doubt change in the near future, as 64-bit
    applications are becoming more available, but for now, Windows 64 - bit often
    You hear some additional trouble and benefits costs little or not.
     
    On the other hand, install Windows 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows
    allows you to purchase 64-bit software available, instead
    older versions of 32-bit. This means that the 64-bit installation
    Windows - even though it may not do much for you at the present time - puts
    you in a better position for the future.
     
    One extra point: the 64-bit version allows you to use more than the
    about 3.1 GB of RAM can be used by the 32-bit version. Very little
    people must or may make effective use more than 3. 1 GB, but if you
    are one of those that can, it's something else to consider.

  • HP Officejet 7310xi - Windows 7 64-bit - is no longer able to scan

    After scanning and resume later, suddenly I have rec'd MSG that I have "no scan options".

    1 I rebooted, also disconnected printer connections, etc. and reconnected and turned on.  Nothing helps. MSG also suggested that I need"to install or run HP sotware that future. »

    2. I did and learned that the disc is not compatible with my upgrade to Windows 7.  When the upgrade is completed, the printer has already been installed from the Windows XP environment.

    3. I thought so maybe I need a new driver and downloaded on the website of HP.  Still ain't working.  Hope someone can help me.

    Scanning options looks like you just need to activate the front panel.  You can find instructions here.  Alternatively you can find instructions on how to scan from the computer here.  Hope that helps.

  • Update my windows xp to 64-bit increases the allowed for the ram address space?

    I have Windows XP 32-bit... If I have upgraded to Windows XP 64 bit will it allows me a greater address space for my ram?  I already know that the programs that I use currently will support 64 bit.  My motherboard will support it as well.  Like I'm looking for a solution to my problems on this model of game play.  It serves to support my game very well, but since the processor over heated (replaced fan) and replaced the graphics card, ram replaced... my gaming experience is still not was.

    It would if you could... but you probably can't.

    On the one hand, it is not only your programs or your motherboard.  You must change your CPU as well.  Is there any other hardware and device drivers.  And, of course, there is the small problem that Windows XP 64-bit is no longer available from Microsoft (you can find online, but it is not cheap and may or may not be 'authentic').

  • reallocate ram windows xp 32-bit

    I have windows xp 32-bit and install 4 GB of ram. He acknowledges only 2.99 GB. How can I reallocate the other 1 GB for my graphics?

    Your video card should automatically share some amount of RAM of the system it is supposed to use.

    32-bit versions of Windows have a maximum address space of 4 GB less than a byte.  However, part of this address space is used for different hardware devices.  So, even if you have 4 GB of physical RAM, only about 3 GB of RAM (more or less) is available for use.

  • Windows 7 32 bit with 6 GB of RAM 6 but still sees only 2.99 usable. I thought that Windows 7 fix this limitation.

    I thought that Windows 7 32-bit(Ultimate version) fixed limit of RAM.  I have 6 GB installed, he sees that the 6 but he says only 2.99 is usable. I have to go to 64-bit?

    Yes, you must go to 64-bit to use all the RAM.

    32-bit may signal the presence of all the 6 GB but only treaty that 4 GB and part of that 4 GB is used for material - mainly the video memory and BIOS device.

  • 32-bit Windows 7-64 bit software up and running?

    I plan to get a new laptop with 64-bit, Windows 7 Professional.

    Can you tell me if I do not receive 64-bit, I still will be able to load all my packages of 32-bit software on a Windows 7 64 bit and will they run right with Windows 7 64 bit?

    Thanks for any response.

    Hi all

    In general most 32-bit applications will work correctly in a 64-biit operating system, but there are some exceptions.  You also need to consider hardware compatibility with a 64-bit operating system.  A simple way to check if your hardware and your applications will work would be to check the Windows 7 Compatibility Center:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Since the Compatibility Center, you can search your hardware and your applications by name and the 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility.

    In addition, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor can be used to check your system for hardware and application compatibility.  Upgrade Advisor will scan your system and checks in general for possible compatibility with Windows 7 and then issues offers advice on how to solve them.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    Applications that have compatibility problems more often are what are called kernel mode applications and legacy 16-bit applications.  Examples might include older versions of applications based on the BACK, the anti-virus applications, old material that is not 64-bit capable.  In view of the very broad ecosystem of applications and hardware, I strongly recommend that you use the Compatibility Center and upgrade advisor to help make the decision.

    I hope this helps! Shad Larsen

  • Installed Windows 7 64 bit - 4 GB / 3 GB usable, whereas with Windows Vista 64-bit - 4 GB usable

    Hello
    I have the Asus N70SV B1.

    Specifications: (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N70Sv/#specifications)

    No problems with Windows Vista 64 bit, recognizing the 4 GB of RAM. After the upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit 4 GB installed / usable RAM problem / 3 gb. I also checked the following.

    1. I am running windows 7 64 bit, NOT 32 bit, I wouldn't be able to run Adobe After Effects® CS5.5 and Adobe first® Pro CS5.5 elsewise.
    2. the unusable 1 GB of RAM is not used by the operating system, it's hardware reserved
    3. the video card Nvidia GT 130 m 1 GB, shouldn't need that RAM - it certainly didn't on the factory installed Windows he dedicated RAM.
    4. I tried disabling and enabling msconfig - boot - Max memory settings, no option solves the problem.
    5. He has no option of memory in the BIOS settings to disable the cache in memory / memory the occultation.

    * I had to use the 64-bit of Windows Vista sound drivers work correctly with Windows 7 64 bit. So I thought that the version of bios or Vista 64 bit can thus solve the problem usable 4 / 3 gb.

    * Yes, I have flashed the bios to Windows Vista 64-bit and that still does not solve the problem. Although the system seems faster, it still shows only 3 GB usable.

    There should not be a problem with this bios version seen only with the 64 bit Vista OS recognized all 4 GB.  I am confused and have no idea where to go from here.

    Please help.

    I don't know why it would be... does show the taskbar when you are on the desktop?

    As a last resort, you can try the "turn system icons on or" and "restore default icon behaviors."

    Generally for touchpad no additional driver is necessary. The touchpad also works without a driver touchpad as the standard Windows driver will be used.
    Driver Touchpad is more important for special functions as virtual scrolling, change the tapping settings, etc.
