Hi, I have seen a few posts on this before but have still not gotten it to work properly.
I have just build my first ever PC build. with Windows 7 64bit (Definitely 100% 64bit). All is working except the ram. Windows is showing 4gb installed but only 1.99gb usable.
According to what I have read I need to enable memory remapping in the bios. I checked this and it is already enabled.
No maximum memory is set in the boot tab of MSconfig.
Resource monitor shows 2057mb reserved for use by the bios and some drivers and other peripherals.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this and how to resolve it please?
Thanks
I have a :
i5 750
P7P55D LE
2*2GB 1600mhz crucial DDR3 duel channel config (I understand that with i5 the system can only use 1333mhz but I think that just means it just doesn't take full advantage of it).
Edit: Re-installing windows did not work. Again definitely 64bit!
Edit2: Updated the bios, no joy.
