Recently windows has been only able to use 4GB of my 8GB total RAM (HTPC in system specs).
When I go to Computer>properties it says: Installed memory (RAM): 8.00GB (3.99GB usable), so it knows I have 8GB installed, but its not able to use it.
Windows task manager confirms that only 4GB is being used. CPU-Z and BIOS both say that I have 8GB installed, and CPU-Z lets me view the properties of each 4GB stick.
I have gone into msconfig and set the maximum amount of ram to 8192MB, restarted, still at 4GB. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Just not sure what to try next...
Windows has been fine using 8GB on this system in the past, this only started recently.
Thanks in advance!
