Hello, I have an issue with my operating system reserving 8GB out of 16GB of RAM.I believe this is because my computer allocates this memory to my integrated graphics card.However, I have no way to change any of the settings in my BIOS. I have an ASRock A320M-HDV motherboard with Ryzen 3.I have windows 64 bit, and I have tried adjusting the max memory in msconfig with no luck. I have looked every where in my BIOS to try to disable the integrated graphics card.I have also tried swapping my RAM cards(identical cards).My BIOS and Windows both recognizes that I have 16GB but it still reserves 8GB.Plz help.
