I understand this seems to be a common problem, but none of the common solutions have solved this issue for me. I have 32 GB of ram installed in my PC, my PC recognizes that I should have 32 GB of ram, however, as shown in the screenshot of Task Manager, 16.1 GB are reserved by the hardware.
Here are my specs to start:
Device name ZachsPC
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.40 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H f41
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)
Device ID BF540D49-4DC1-4CFA-870C-610F9B4F9BC9
Product ID 00326-10113-47935-AA751
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
I have four 8 GB ram sticks that I have tied swapping around the RAM Sticks in the ports on my motherboard to no avail. I also tried loading them onto my PC just two Ram Sticks at a time each just to see if I had a faulty RAM stick, but from what I can tell that is not the case. I have checked for a BIOS update for my motherboard but it is fully up to date. I tried msconfig as well.
Everytime I restart my computer after changing the options Maximum memory would always revert to 0. I have seen some post saying to leave the box unchecked, I have seen some say to make it 32768, both have not stopped the 32.0 GB (15.9 GB usable) issue, always only having 15.9 available for use. I have also gone into my BIOS to enable XMP profile to absolutely no avail either. I have also tried Customize Virtual Memory.
I will admit when I tried to customize the size I was not particularly sure what numbers to input so I went with Initial Size: 800 and Maximum Size: 22000. This did not work after a reset and neither did selecting no paging file. I have also launched a Windows Memory Diagnostic only for it to say that my PC is perfectly fine with absolutely no issues. I have even tried typing "msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic" in Run to see if that would catch any errors with my PC, but this also did not solve the 15.9 GB available 16.1 GB Reserved. After all of that, I even removed my ram again to clean it out with an air compressor incase it was something as simple as that. Even though way more dust came out of that thing than I anticipated, it also did not solve the issue.
I have also tried changing the value in ClearPageFileAtShutdown from 0 to 1. I then reattempted the System Configuration steps again also to no avail. I searched around BIOS to see if there were any options that I may have missed but nothing caught my eye. I am pretty out of ideas beyond all of this and do not know what try next. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. P.S. Sorry for all the snippets I was not sure what all people would need to see.
