Half of my Ram is hardware allocated

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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."

	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£
