[SOLVED] Why my Hardware Reserve so High?

Hi! I have a problem here and I would like you to help me!, Here's the problem

My Hardware Reserve is so High!, It took almost all of RAM Memory, I'm Wondering how can I fix this, Anyway I follow some tutorial in YouTube such as, System Configuration/Boot, Regedit, Advance System Setting, And Switching the RAM places, Nothing Happens...

How did this happen?
I upgraded my processor to AMD A8-3870K my old processor was A4-3400, after I switch it, I upgraded the driver of the processor to A8-3870K Driver, then I see why my ram usage was so high?

Computer Information
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
Processor: A4-3400(Old) to A8-3870k(New)
RAM: 4.00 GB (1.49 GB Usable) 1333Mhz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2 FM1

EDIT:
Another Problem Occurred, When I'm trying to Open BIOS after few second it shutdown itself, is there any connections to the ram? When I'm using in it won't shutdown itself, so why when I try to go in BIOS is Shutdown itself?

having only 4GB of RAM i would expect the majority of it to be used for OS & hardware reserves.
i haven't seen many systems using that small of an amount in ~10 years.
even while idling my system uses over 4GB.

you can try expanding your Page File size significantly to see if alleviates some RAM usage
and/or just purchase an 8 or 16GB memory kit.
i would imagine there is still DDR3 available around.

Man I know what your thinking! I know it's very low ram, that's why I'm wondering if there's any way to reduce the hardware reserved,after all I'm a not rich person I just owned a computer run most basic games..
 
no, no way to just auto-reduce reserved RAM.
but...


you can get a decent 2x 4GB kit for <$50.
and a 2x 8GB kit for ~$10-20 more.
It seems there's no way to reduce the reserve ram, in the past I wondering how I'm able to reduce reserve ram to 512mb, by doing so regedit, now doing the same thing won't produce the same outcome
 
Hi I would like to ask if there's any way to reduce or remove hardware reserved in my ram, I follow some guide and tutorial in YouTube but none of them working..

Regedit,Msconfig,Virtual Memory, Swapping Ram Location. But none of them working, I see very similar to my case but the hardware reserved was pretty low like about 512mb while me having the same thing with 2500mb hardware Reserved, I have only 4GB of ram (I Know it's pretty Low), Any Solution? Thanks 😊
