Windows 7 64bit - 6GB Memory But Only 4GB Usable
Mar 19, 2012
I have Win7 64bit with 6GB memory. The Windows System control panel agrees with that showing 6GB ram and nothing about a limitation. But today I was opening a lot of files and the program wouldn't let me open more files after Windows memory use reached 4GB. Task Manager showed 4GB used out of 6GB. I tried opening another file with a different program and my screen flickered and the program shut itself off, so it looks like the problem is with Windows and not the other programs. How do I get Windows to use all available memory not just 4GB out of 6GB?

Today I noticed that my system is only using 3072mb of RAM, I have 4 GB in my system and they used to work pretty nice until now, before all 4 were usable, now Im missing 1. I thought this was because ram remap feature was diabled on the bios (BTW here's my board : Biostar G31 M7 TE). So I enabled it and rebooted my system. Turns out it's still the same... I tried also enabling the memory hole to 15-16 mb (the only setting appart from diables) same results. I think this is decreasing my PC's performance... edit: what seems to be doing this is the ''pci mmio allocation''

I have a computer that is running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. It has 6 GB of RAM installed, but it says that 3.00 GB are usable. My understanding is that Ultimate 32 bit can handle 4 GB of RAM. What do I have setup in correctly?

I know you've probably seen dozens of threads like this, but here's an interesting twist:
The laptop it's on (the Compaq Presario V2000) only has 512MB of RAM, and is showing only 383 available. Nothing near the level of the OS restrictions. (Besides, it's 64-bit.) I've already tried the solution here, but the "maximum memory" box was unchecked.
Any insight?

I have also checked the BIOS . but there is no place where i can dissble " Dram over 4Remapp" or something like that.
everything i can think of i have checked.
I know 32bit can't handle more than 2 or 3GB memory, but it can handle 2gb, that much i know.
when i start my computer. it show 1024mb ram . that counts that up. but in everything else it shows 2GB bit 1 usable.
and it says that 1024mb is hardware reserved, ( maybe it is that ? how do i change that ?
I have run a test. nothing wrong with either of the memory sticks
I also have seperat graphic card with 512BM Ram on.

I recently upgraded from Vista home premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Home premium 32 bit. My system now shows RAM 4GB installed (2.97GB usable) this never happened in my vista version.
I have searched numerous threads on this forum but and have found similar issues but none of the threads seem to have been resolved.
I am thinking to revert back to Vista if i cant make full use of my RAM.

I just rebuilt my computer, new motherboard and such and it has 6 GB of ram installed but it is only using 2 GB and has 4 GB hardware reserved. I have went and set the bios settings to memory remapping, I have tried reinstalling windows, I've tried unchecking the msconfig max memory, resetting the ram, and resetting the bios.
In the Systems window it reads that there is Total 6 GB Memory and only 2 GB usable, and in the Bios in the System information it also reads only 2 GB usable memory. The ram sticks aren't new, I took them form my old computer when I did the rebuilt, which are 3 Elipida 2GB 1333 MHz sticks. The motherboard is a Maximus III Gene with bios version 2103. OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

I tried looking online about this I need to know if there's a big difference between 12GB of system memory and 16GB of system memory. I don't play many games but I do convert HD videos a lot and these programs are a pig on ram. I have 8GB now and have ordered 2 4GB sticks and was wondering if I should stay with 2 4GB sticks and 2 2GB sticks(total12GB) or should I upgrade to 16GB.

I've had 4gigs of RAM installed for very long and I was able to work fine with my browser open + Photoshop and Blender in Win XP. I've quite recently upgraded from Win Xp 32bit to Win 7 64bit. After installing Win 7 64bit I added 2x1GB sticks into my system to take advantage of memory I had available. These "new" sticks were of lower clocks than my 2x2GB I had installed so I tested clocking them higher. Well that wasn't really stable so I figured running them at lower clocks wouldn't hurt all that much.
So everything seemed to work fine, Memtest didn't whine about anything and everything seems to work well enough. Now however I can't have my browser + the other programs open at the same time but windows keeps whining about it running out of memory even though the taskbar memory amounts don't add up at all. I have like 5Gigs used but adding everything doesn't even get up to 2Gigs. I know about windows keeping unused memory ready for use but it doesn't seem to be that or otherwise I don't know why my programs keep crashing all the time.
I have a load of tabs open in my browser but they don't take all that much memory. And I don't have any other programs open that would use that much for anything. My display turns black sometimes and sometimes (not every time) after that I get the display driver error and that it's recovered. I've had this very seldom before but now it seems quite common so I figured it might have something to do with that the display driver doesn't get enough memory to use either. Just a wild guess but textureloading in Blender doesn't work all the time etc. so it seems like a vRAM problem to me.

I have an Acer Aspire 5532 running Windows 7 64 bit with 3.00 GB ram and I have 2.75 GB of ram saying unusable. My computer is and has been very slow and I haven't recently added or removed any hardware.I have checked 2 possible problems from info I found on this problem being I've located msconfig, boot, advanced options, max memory is "unchecked" and have checked my bios which do show the correct amount of memory but I can not enable "memory remap" because bios does not support. I've added a resource monitor screen shot below.

I will start off by stating my relevant PC Specs for this thread:-
Asus P5B Deluxe MoBo
Intel Dual Core E6600 @ 2.40GHz
GeForce 7900 GS 512Mb
2 x 1GB DDR2 800MHz Corsair Value RAM (original) in Yellow Slots A1 & B1
2 x 1GB DDR2 800MHz Corsair Gaming RAM (NEW) in Black Slots A2 & B2
So I have just installed 2 extra GBs of RAM to bring my total to 4GB. After a successful boot and then checking my 'System' info Windows states 4.00GB of memory is installed but only 2.94GB is usable.Therefore I went ahead into my BIOS to enable the 'Memory Remap Feature'.However on reboot the PC gets to the 'Starting Windows' screen and doesn't get any further. The Windows logo doesn't start to appear. It just restarts going through all the usual screens again, eventually giving two options of:-
Launch Startup Repair or Start Windows Normally. The repair never works and Windows will never start normally again until I return to the BIOS to disable the mem remap.I reset the CMOS to Factory Default settings and tried again but did nothing. Also I have never updated the BIOS from the original version as I'm a bit scared to do so.I have looked hear for info on voltages and clocking but didn't get anywhere. Well got an overclock at 3.60Hz but only ran in Safe Mode. Obviously this is slightly irrelevant the above but was just trying stuff out and trying to learn more.

I have 6GB of ram installed on windows 7 64-bit ultimate. For some reason I'm noticing that the usage will rise past 50%, but I am unable to find all of the used resources. From what I found, I'm using roughly 3.2GB of RAM when I add up all the memory usage under the processes tab.

Also I have never updated the BIOS from the original version as I'm a bit scared to do so.Have read about graphics card using part of the mem (which doesn't seem right with the 7900 GS as has it's own onboard mem) and also that voltages to the RAM should be increased.
MCH Voltages
Windows 7 :: Win 7 Wont Boot With 4GB RAM
Windows 7 RC won't boot with 4gb
I have looked hear for info on voltages and clocking but didn't get anywhere. Well got an overclock at 3.60Hz but only ran in Safe Mode. Obviously this is slightly irrelevant the above but was just trying stuff out and trying to learn more.

I have 6144mb of ram on my Compaq Presario CQ62 402AU. So I have the 2GB Hp stick which came with the laptop (2GB DDR3 1066MHz) and I have a 4GB stick from G-Skill). So there should be 5.76GB usable, but I only have 1.74GB usable. This is what is it when I only had the 2GB. The Bios says there is 6144GB in there. Windows says there 6.0GB in there also.
So what I have tried:
- Running Mem Tests (HP one which came with my laptop and Memtestx86)
- Taking out the ram and putting them in there sorts again
- Taking out the ram, running a pencil eraser over the connecters and then putting them back in
- Doing testing so Only 1 is in and try that in both slots for both sticks of ram
- Swapping the ram positions
- Making sure that Max ram is not selected in Msconfig
So basic System info you may want to know (Most of my profile info is there of my computer) Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit SP1 Installed Memory (Ram) (This is from the basic system info page) 6.00GB (1.74GB Usable). The odd thing is that it worked fine for a while. Today I went to school with the 5.76GB and I come back home 8 hours later, the computer has only been on lock for this time and there is only 1.76GB usable.

i am running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and recently upgraded my RAM from 3GB to 4GB. Windows 7 reports only 3.25 being usable. i have a dedicated video card an my onboard one is definitely disabled. my BIOS reports 4096MB RAM detected. max memory and CPU are unchecked in msconfig. from looking at the resource monitor i see that 770MB of RAM is labeled as hardware reserved memory.also i don't know if my BIOS supports a memory remap feature or not but even if it does its a locked HP BIOS so most setting are inaccessible.is there any way to get my full memory? or does anyone know why this is happening on a 64-bit os?

Under my Windows 7 performance information it is listed that I have 2.5 Gigs of usable RAM even though I have 4 installed. I think this is because I have 1.5 GB of graphics memory but I don't fully understand what that is. I also don't understand the difference between the listed "dedicated graphics memory(512MB)" and the "shared system memory" that I guess make up the 1.5 GB I'm "missing".I was thinking of installing a 64 bit version of my OS to take full advantage of my installed memory and I think my system is fully capable. I just need to have the right processor and enough memory to make it worth it correct? I assume my motherboard is capable if it is using a capable processor.
