Win 10 not showing all ram

[Skipping-Bear]

I have 8gb of ram, and windows is only showin 7.8 of it. I tried going into msconfig to see if it the max ram was on but its not. im not sure why windows is saying i can only use 7.8 out of 8gb. yesterday i installed two new hdd and after that windows said something about the paging file so i have like 8gb of paging file. so im pretty sure its not that either

press "Win key + R" then type "msinfo32" How much ram does it say you have installed?

It won't show the full amount as usable in task manager as it has some reserved for hardware.

it says what i said that there is 8.00gb of physical ram. this happend to me before, but it was cause i was messing around with msconfig. i recently installed eaus partition manager and made a raid 0 array. im using the AMD SATA controller, instead of the other stata controller which is marvell those are the most recent big hardware and software changes within the past few days and thats when windows in the task manager started saying that i only have 7.80gb usable

It said you had the full 8 usable before hand?

You could always do a system restore if you are really worried about it. My guess is that the other 200MB are reserved for hardware. I wouldn't worry about it if you have 7.8GB usable.
