Hello there, New setup with this board and a Ryzen 5 2600. 16gb of RAM. Windows is reporting that half of that is being reserved for hardware. Is there a way to disable the reserve to free up the memory? The path in other solutions to: Advanced > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options > GFX Configuration is greyed out. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. |

| What Windows are you running 32 bit or 64bit? Windows reserves the memory for 32bit. |

have you tried reseating your RAM? I've read somewhere where an individual was having same issue and it turned out that his RAM was fully seated ------------- |Ryzen 5 5900|ASRock X570 Taichi-BIOS 4.60|2x16GB HyperX Predator RGB 3200@3600 1:1 IF|ASRock RX 6700XT|2 x PCIe 4.0 M.2 Drives for OS & Games|850 WTT Seasonic 80+ Titanium PSU|Noctua NH-D15| |

this problem usually is always down to a badly seated ram stick other than that it could be 1 faulty ram stick and /or a badly seated cpu pin ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

Chip and Ram have been freshly installed into brand new motherboard. I have previously had this problem with my old computer. It would not let me adjust the settings until i installed an APU processor. The option was just not there. I know his Ryzen 5 is just a plain processor. Unfortunately replacing it is just not an option at this point. There just has to be a way to adjust the memory being reserved. CPU is also jumping to turbo mode without even being used. Under 5% load and it is at turbo speed. Fresh install of Win10Pro as well. |
