hey all. I’ve tried different ram, a different windows version, I’ve messed around in bios and updated it as well. How can i get my pc to register the rest of my ram??
It is detecting your ram what what I can tell from the screenshot. What program is that anyways? But it a large portion is being used. I believe windows itself uses aroung 4gigs and you might just have programs in the background using the rest, even a web browser could use a decent chunk
That looks like a snippet the system properties menu in Windows. It’s detecting all of the RAM but it isn’t that only 7.92GB is free – rather only 7.92GB is capable of being addressed, due to something going wrong.

I’m not sure that’s entirely correct. It could be that some is reserved for video (that’s how it shows on my cheap work laptop)
I don’t think it should be reserving 8GB in any case.
Edit: plus it’s a Ryzen 2600. No iGPU.
There is no iGPU in this system.
