HELP!!! Before anything else, I am a below novice/beginner when it comes to PC thingies, so pls, I really need your help.
My SPECS:
Windows 7 32 bit (yeah, I know. But I was able to used 3.5 GB of RAM up until recently)
CPU: INTEL core i5 750
Motherboard: ASUS p7h55-m LX
Graphics card: Inno3d Geforce GT 430 (1 GB RAM)
RAM: 4 GB (2 x 2 GB)
I was able to used 3.5 GB of RAM up until Back in May 16, 2016 I updated the Graphics card driver.
I noticed days later that my PC was laggy, so looked at Task Manager and saw RAM is only 2007 MB. When I have 4GB RAM
Look at Computer Properties and it says "Installed RAM: 4.00 GB (1.96 usable)"
I used mdsched.exe, It detected nothing wrong.
I looked at the Resource monitor and saw "Harware Reserved 2089 MB"
System Restore did nothing.
I went around the internets and nothing I worked.
In msconfig, the "Max Memory" is already unchecked. In Bios, Advanced, Chipset, the Memory Reamp was already Enabled.
I do NOT have "ClearPageFileAtShutdown" in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
I looked at "Performance Information and Tools " :
Graphics
Display adapter type___________ NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
Total available graphics memory__1771 MB
Dedicated graphics memory______1024 MB
Dedicated system memory________0 MB
Shared system memory__________747 MB
Display adapter driver version_____10.18.13.6822
Primary monitor resolution________1440x900
DirectX version_________________DirectX 10
Total available graphics memory 1771 MB ??? wat? Does that mean that the PC's RAM goes there? but why???
And What do I do if the Graphics does eat my RAM??
