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" rel="nofollow - 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£ -------------
