Hi forum. I have a problem. Recently to fix my pc I had to clean install windows. All my problems were fixed but another one popped up. I noticed when playing World of Warcraft that I occasionally crashed and got the error: not enough memory. When I checked resource checker it said that 13gb of my 16 gb was reserved for hardware. This seems way too much and I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 
Solution
Check the memory limit in msconfig. If that's not it, go in the device manager, choose the memory map view and find the device/driver associated with that 13GB of missing RAM. IGPs are usually the biggest consumers of "reserved" memory and even that usually doesn't exceed 1.5GB.
