Only half my 16GB of ram works, other half is hardware reserved.

[Tommy_38]

Of course, I have checked all 4 of my slots and they all work, the computer recognises all 16 gig and so does cpuz/pcwizard etc etc but for some reason half is being reserved.
But like i have said it does seem that I am getting the full 16 GB's when I need it, so I'm confused fro sure.

cheers.

PS: Hope you also get sorted with your problem, and if you have not then start your own thread as you might get a better response as this topic is pretty old and dead'ish, lol.

enter the BIOS on your system and go to the advance tab, enable remap feature! It worked for me.

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd offer people a fix for those seeing this and if you have amd cpu. I had this exact same problem, and disabling amd turbo core gave me back ALL of my memory.

check to see what windows set up for windows swap file..it could have glitched and set it self up to large. open up tast manger and see what using the ram...it could be a virus or a damaged window file.
