Ram Issue (Hardware Reserved and Standby) *Help please*

[TheGamingBoris]

Hello all,

I have a bit of an issue and I have searched and searched for answers but to no avail.

I recently looked at my System Properties...

And my Resource Monitor...

I would just like to know how to access the full amount of RAM I have paid good money for.

Please do not answer with "You have mismatched RAM" because I don't.
Please do not answer with "The RAM is in different Coloured slots" Because It is not.
Please do not answer with "It's incompatible with your MoBo" Because it is not.

Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit

I would really appreciate some help on this as it's quite irritating not having the full capability of the RAM I possess.

I think it's something to do with memory remapping, yet I have no clue as to how I go about remapping it in my BIOS

I looked this up in your motherboard manual and couldn't find anything. It must be enabled by default (there's really no reason to disable it). What it could be I have no idea. It looks to me like there's 1GiB disabled which would be consistent with a 1GiB rank being unmappable. However, you have two 4GiB sticks which use ranks larger than 1GiB. Very strange.
