I've had a problem with games stuttering a lot for quite a while. I'll get high average framerates on everything I play, but once every few seconds or so my framerate will drop to almost zero. I decided to check Task Manager, and it appears as though the RAM I have is the issue. However, it says that it's taking up 2.5 GB of RAM, but when I change the value type, it says that this is 60% of my total RAM, meaning that Task Manager either thinks that the game is using less RAM than it is/should be using (i.e. it thinks I have 4 GB of RAM), or the game itself actually is using that little RAM, which would explain the stuttering problem. Upon examination in the BIOS, it seems that my computer recognizes that I have 8 GB of RAM, and I don't have any reason to believe that my RAM is incompatible with my motherboard. These are my RAM specs:
Question here is, is my computer really not using more than half of the installed RAM, or is Task Manager wrong? If the former, how can I fix this? Thanks.
