I recently realized that my computer was not using all 16GB of RAM I have installed. I am using a A320M-HDV R3.0 mother board, Ryzen 3 1200 @ 3.10GHz processor. I have gone through all the Microsoft things and my BIOS is up to date. IS there something in the BIOS I can adjust to help this? Maybe a Memory mapping feature? -Using Windows 64Bit -No iGPU ------------- Michael Carlino |

I did try that but to my knowledge the ram is seated properly. It registers that 16GB is installed but it cannot use half (only 7.97 useable) ------------- Michael Carlino |
