I think I finally solved the problem by increasing the voltage. Now I'm getting 67MB hardware allocated, is that normal£ I don't remember what I used to have.

I wonder why did I have to increase the Ram voltage, are my sticks going bad£]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:42:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18352&PID=84633&title=half-of-my-ram-is-hardware-allocated#84633 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18352&PID=84632&title=half-of-my-ram-is-hardware-allocated#84632 Author: DSD27

Like the title says, half of my Ram got hardware allocated. I think it happened after I install AMD chipset driver ver:2.11.26.106.
My CPU is 2600X, my board is B450 Gaming K4, BIOS 3.40
My Ram is: https://www.gskill.com/specification/165/184/1536044711/F4-3000C15D-16GVR-Specification

I understand the Ram is not on the board's compatibility list, but I've been using them for 2 years with no issues.

When I change the Ram frequency, the system will get into a boot loop 3 or 4 time, then it boots into windows with only 7.9GB available. But when I'm in UEFI it shows 16GB 2133mhz.

What to do£ I wanted to update bios but, on the website, it says "ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU is being used on your system."]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:03:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18352&PID=84632&title=half-of-my-ram-is-hardware-allocated#84632
