System Memory Reserved Issue: 16GB RAM (4x4GB) Showing Only 8GB - ASRock 980DE3 / U3S3, AMD Fx-6300

Question

Hello
I have 16GB of Ram 4x4GB and unfortunately the system is reading 8GB. After changing the cubes, it shows 4GB or 12GB of available memory and even nothing changes. Memories of the same company are stapled together. 0MB virtual memory, maximum memory checked off. Please help

Maybe you need to set pairs 1333 with 1333 and 1600 together or mix them with the slower ones in the first slots. If the CPU used to work on it, now it must also.

Do you have the latest BIos of course?

enhanced · Accepted Answer

Then try to figure it out if it worked. And 1x4GB is always visible in every slot? 2x4GB is also lost in the appropriate slots?

enhanced · Accepted Answer

It's Goodram 1333mhz in the first pair and Crucial 1600 in the second pair.

What does the bios show? Sees the full 16 GB? If so, the graphics card is most likely to blame, and it steals some RAM for its own use.

Sure, but how are we going to find out about it without the information we need? Post the resource monitor, the memory tab and specify how much VRAM on the card.

In addition, it is worth making the screenshots from the tabs with CPU-Z public (maybe not only for the system of 4 loaded modules, but also for the 3 - the one in which you can "see" in the 12 GB system), because this RAM comes from a lot of different fairy tales.
By the way, everything about memory - voltages, timings, etc. - applies, and is visible in the BIOS (UEFI), you would also be able to see.

Even without it, IMHO, it is difficult to qualify whether it is Software or Hardware.

I will add that the bios is current

safbot1st · Answer

Everything correctly detected. Health Monitor I asked. Also, don't send us to weird sites. We have our own hosting:

Which tab from the resource monitor do you need?

safbot1st · Answer

... Memory?

zwinka25 · Answer

Memory is in the first screenshot in the first post

safbot1st · Answer

I can't open this g ### through my smartphone ...

icooz · Answer

Ok, I will do what the author does not intend to do: post the pictures correctly.

I do not know if it is normal that the system reserves such a gigantic amount of memory, because for me it is only 98 MB when you have 4 GB, and whether you have already looked for how to disable RAM sharing with an nvidia graphics card.

When did you update it? After an update, it is sometimes necessary to reboot the system to free up all RAM. Besides, you can see that the GPU gets its reserved 4GB. Turn on Witcher 3 and see in the resource monitor -> memory if the RAM is de-energizing. In msconfig, set the max memory to 16GB. According to me, if there is any problem at all, it's on the software side, i.e. OS.

I did what icooz found and with 4GB available from 12GB

Try to raise the voltage for the RAM bone in the bios.

zwinka25 · Answer

How much more or less so as not to spoil something?

enhanced · Answer

10% on the spot. But even 20% won't hurt with a full cast.

zwinka25 · Answer

I set it to 1.7V and nothing

enhanced · Answer

It's still MHz for smaller with such voltage and check on 3 dice - it may improve.

zwinka25 · Answer

For 12GB, 4GB available

enhanced · Answer

And with 16GB 8GB? With 12GB, or 3 dice, maybe you changed the slots on the disc or something will not change?

zwinka25 · Answer

Once, with 4 bones, I changed their places until there was 0MB reserved.

zwinka25 · Answer

Yes

zwinka25 · Answer

At 2x4GB, Crucial is the maximum frame
And with GoodRam also max
Of course, mounted in the first slot

Added after 14 [minutes]:

In the second slot, Crucial has max and GoodRam has 4GB available for 8GB

zwinka25 · Answer

After plugging GoodRam into A1 and B1 slots and Crucial in A2 and B2 slots, it is full of 16GB

enhanced · Answer

And what are the clock and CL now - in cpu-z the SPD tab or the hwinfo summary will be visible. Do they work with stock? Apparently they couldn't rip at 1600MHz.

zwinka25 · Answer

It's strange that they couldn't get together because it worked earlier

enhanced · Answer

Because maybe you set as I wrote now, i.e. 1333 from 1333, not as you gave from 1333 and on the second slot 1600 to pair.

The voltage is not visible in hwinfo or maybe it is stock 1.5V or still raised to 1.6V?
