8GB RAM (3.99 GB useable) *maximum memory unchecked + virtual memory automatic paging unchecked*

[antoniopoopstfn]

Heyo, so I've tried unchecking maximum memory and the 'Automatically manage paging file size for all devices' tricks, unfortunately neither worked. I don't understand why I can't access my full ram and it's ticking me off because I haven't been able to play any high end games that I own for about the past year. If you can help I'd appreciate it!

Always start with listing full specs of your pc.

May be your pc doesn't support more than 4GB, maybe OS is limiting amount of available ram. There can be multitude of various reasons.

Is this good?

also thought I should mention that my memory is at 50% at all times no matter what, nothing open and nothing on startup programs and right when I start up my pc it's at 50%
I have 64 bit so no limitation problems and my mobo supports up to 8gb

99% of the time this is caused by memory that is either improperly seated, dirty, or defective.

Take the DIMM(s) out, clean the contacts thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, and reinsert them. If that doesn't solve the issue, test them individually in each slot until you find a combination that doesn't boot. You may have either a defective DIMM, or a defective DIMM slot.
