[bboy.hh]

Hey guys i upgraded a 4 more gb ram and now its 8 gb , ok everything works fine with all games , so again i went to computer properties it says 8 gb ( usable 3.93 gb ) i didnt recognize this one , but how come ? Why its just 3.93 gb ram usable , by the way i didnt upgraded my bios , i dont if this is the problem , hope you guys help thank you

Do you have a 32 bit installation of Windows?

It should say 64 or 32 bit on the same page as the memory under This Computer properties..

If possible, remove the new RAM stick you added, and see what the usable amount it shows. If it's still 3.93-ish GB, then the RAM stick might be defective. If it shows much less than 3.93 GB, then it means that the RAM is working fine, the 3.93 GB usable probably means that 3.93 GB is free for applications to use, and rest has been allotted for certain tasks by the system(which is a completely normal thing).

Just remove the new stick and tell us what the usable amount is after that.

Always list your PC's complete specs (or laptop's specs) including OS and what games and resolution you are running. There's not enough info here.

Were you running a bunch of background junk while you were looking at that? Task manager might tell you why. Are there any background programs running unnoticed by you? That might be it. I think there's a bunch of junk running in the background that you don't notice.

Sorry for late replays , actually i remove the ram and stick it again , and same result , ok well i play battlefield one on ultra with no stuttering , gta 5 , assassin creed unity , and thats fine , but i dont know why is that 3.93 usable shown , is it a big deal? Btw battlefield one is very playable , but sometimes and its rare to be happen its stuttering just for second and than i play normal , i think its normal , in task manager , its say 1.2gb memory performance i dont know actually , and my spec


Xeon 3460
Gtx 1050 ti oc edition
Thermaltake litepower 550w
8 gb ram ( i guess )

 

[woahwoahwilly]

You probably need to update the BIOS.

 

[derekullo]

Do you have a 32 bit or a 64 bit version of Windows?

Having a 32 bit version of Windows will only be able to use 4 gigabytes of ram regardless if its Windows 7 or Windows 10

 

[bboy.hh]

I went to computer property and it said 64 bit
Do i have to update my bios? Or if you have another solution for that , much appreciate

Start > run >msconfig > Boot tab. What's going on with the memory?

Take out the new RAM stick, and start up your system. Then look at what the usable RAM is.

 

[bboy.hh]

Really sorry guys for the late replay , ok so i remove the new one , and bingo ! Its 4 gb ram full usable , what now what wrong

Insert the new stick again, and check the usable amount again. If it stays close to 4 GB, you might have a defective RAM stick, or a defective RAM slot.

 

[bboy.hh]

Ok i put the new ram and now its 8 gb full usable , but in dxdiag , memore is 4023 . Is it ok with that?


Edit : everything works fine , after i played battlefield one with no stuttering at all now pc freezes and restart by it self , and blue screen pop up , please guys can u tell me whats going on

 

[woahwoahwilly]

Ooh... that's a problem. I think that one of your RAM slots might be broken. Any power surges, outages, or exposure to anything that could harm the PC?

 

[woahwoahwilly]

Chances are one of your RAM slots might be on the trail of death here.

That could be a solution to your problem. do exactly as 4745454b said, and maybe it'll work. If it works give him credit for it not me.

Also, if the above solution doesn't work, try running memtest86. Use method 2 on this page:

Thanks guy it works , but only on 6 gb , and all of my ram was 1134 , and i have another one and its 1333 , when i put the 2 gb 1333 with those 3 slots 1134 , 8 gb all usable , but the pc keeps restart ? What can i do please help? Do i have to buy a 1134 2gb ram?

 

[Shektron]

If the restart only happen with the 1333 RAM installed, then the 1333 RAM is probably defective. You should get it replaced if it is under warranty.

 

[woahwoahwilly]

That, or maybe your RAM has to be at thesame speed.

 

[bboy.hh]

What you mentioned guys before that maybe the ram stick is defective , it is !!!
I bought an 4 gb ram 1333mhz , my 2x2x2x gb ( 6 gb ) was fine , now i put the 4 gb ram and now its 10 gb , so i went to my computer properties and it showed ( 10 gb (3.39 usable ) still the same thing , i tried to change the stick on another slots , it opens but keeps restarting and a blue screen pop up , i remove a 1 stick 2 gb to see if a slot could be broken , and same thing restart , ive never had a bad luck like this ! Guys this is the final question ! What should i do ?

 

[Shektron]

The only thing that is happening is that your different RAM sticks are not running well with each other. While your RAM is compatible with the system, the three 2 GB sticks are not compatible with the 4 GB stick. You can't mix and match any kind of RAM and expect it to work perfectly. All you can do is either stick to 6 GB or sell all your RAM and get one, proper kit of RAM, because they are tested and guaranteed to work with each other well.

10GB, 3.39 usable tells me you are still using a 32 bit copy of windows. Which I asked about a long time ago. I would just run the 4GB sick and not worry about the others. You aren't using them.

thank you for the reply mate, so i checked again to make sure if i have 32 bit , i went to my computer - properties and i saw that
processor : intel (R ) Xeon (R) Cpu x3460 @ 2.80ghz 2.79 ghz
installed memory :6.00gb
system type :64 bit operating system ,x64 -based processor
pen and touch : no pin or touch input is available


on dxdiag 😱perating system :windows 10 pro 64-bit
i went to display i saw *current display mode :1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60hz) (i dont know if thats a big deal )

so yes hope its 32 bit to change it as soon as possible
