Windows 10 8gb ram 7gb usable free.I have 8GB of installed RAM, yet only 7.47GB is usable.
I’m clueless as to why I cannot use 7. I’ve tried multiple forums and no solutions have helped so far. Any help would be appreciated. Please be informed that hardware components often use some of your internal system memory RAM for themselves. Your computer may also be allocating part of your RAM to other hardware, such as your network hardware. However, we just want to clarify , were you able to run Windows Memory Diagnostics Too l?
How about performing the steps below? If you still haven’t you may give that a try and see if it makes any difference. At this point, if the computer still operates fine under such circumstances, then there is a high chance that the operating system has fine tuned the memory allocation.

Hello, i have 8gb ram in my computer but when i open my windows properties it only shows 5. Have a nice day. Karadjgne Titan Ambassador. Dec 26, 28, 3, , 5, You can’t. Not unless you use a discrete gpu instead, which gets recognised by bios and windows and automatically stops setting aside the ram amount for igpu.
For the igpu, that 2Gb is an initial setting, a minimum. If you run a high ram need game, that 5. Not hard to have 8Gb of ram and only 2Gb usable when Windows blocks almost 6Gb for the igpu. And that’s if total pc ram usage isn’t close to 7Gb ish usage, at which point Windows will pagefile a portion of the HDD as virtual ram, and fps goes in the toilet.
Did I need that much? Every search I’ve done comes up with answers for over-clocking that I feel probably aren’t relevant for me since I’m not overclocking. If you open Task Manager, click on the performance tab, and in the bottom right, click ‘Resource Monitor’. What is the system model? If custom, then motherboard model? Do you have the most recent BIOS?
Maybe you need a bios update for the motherboard? What is the model of the processor? Is it possible that the CPU itself has a limit on how much memory it can use? I actually did not know that about home Basic. The system is running Windows Ultimate though. Clearing the CMOS might be worth a shot. I’m sure you have done it already, but in the slight chance you haven’t, try reseating both modules. If that doesn’t work I would check what speed RAM you have mhz, mhz etc and what your mobo supports.
Following that, do you have the DIMM slots populated as recommended by the manufacturer? The last time I encountered this, it came down to an issue with mixing different ranks of memory modules. Windows is the grief. I haven’t had an opportunity to try a Flash drive with linux on it yet, actually hadn’t thought of it until just now. It was hardware reserved, which I thought I had checked but I must not have because there is no way I would have missed that.
