Hello, my good people of Tom's Hardware. I am currently experiencing issues with Taskmanager stating that over half of my installed ram is hardware reserved as shown in the screenshot of Taskmanager below.

Here are the memory-related tabs in CPUZ as well as screenshots showing that I have done the steps of checking msconfig and sysdm.cpl.

I am aware that in the last screenshot, the currently allocated memory is way high so I tried creating a custom size around what the recommended listed there and here are screenshots of that and what task manager looked like after a restart.

I don't know what else to do so it would be awesome if you smart people on this forum could help me out!

This is my last resort to fixing this problem.

I have spent hours researching this problem and trying to fix it to no avail.

Good luck.
