[SOLVED] Not able to get 100% usable ram on my Aorus B450 Elite

[Subinoy Biswas]

Hi,

I purchased an Aorus B450 Elite Gigabyte Mobo.

Using with Ryzen 7 2700X

2 x 8GB Corsair 2400Ghz (Red Colored) Dual channel Ram.

I upgraded to 4 x 8GB

But my computer -> Properties shows 32 GB (15.8GB Usable)

Previously I had the 2 rams in slot 2 & 4 & it used to show 16GB.

Later I tested the mobo with 24 gb, 3 x 8GB rams but then it shows 24GB (7.98GB) usable

I saw many tutorials on YTube but it does help.

Changing the system Advanced Settings -> Stop Paging File. made me go into blue screen of death & i recovered somehow.

If anyone has the solution - please help me.

Thanks

You purchased two sets of memory. They may be different enough that you will never get them to play nice. You can try adding a little bit of RAM voltage manually, and setting the timing to default. MAYBE they will play together, maybe not.

No. Windows 10 Home does NOT have that limit -- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...ws-releases#physical-memory-limits-windows-10
Windows 7 did but not Windows 10.

scratch what I said. maybe there is a setting in the bios to turn some channels on/off for using?
