[SOLVED] Windows 11 showing less memory

[boosters]

I have just installed Windows 11 but on About section it is showing 6GB RAM while in task management it is showing 4GB RAM.

RAM - 2x Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Desktop = Total 8GB RAM

I flashed it twice but same problem.

Instead of Dual, showing Single channel.

how much is showing next to hardware reserved?

Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors. Memtest is created as a bootable USB so that you don’t need windows to run it

its odd it can even see 2gb of the 4gb stick

its always possibly a compatability issue since I know that CPU isn't on the list of AMD cpu Win 11 is meant to work with. Its hard enough to get it to run on B550 motherboards that came out last year.

Thanks, but problem is solved now, I unplug and plugged in the ram.

Well, that fixes it too. Should have done that before asking
