Hey, I see. Your PC seems to be using only 8GB of the 16GB RAM. That’s a bit low, especially if you have multiple sticks. You mentioned having HyperX Predator 4GB modules—do they use DDR3 or DDR4? It might help to check the label on the stick or look up the specifications. Also, it sounds like your system could be in need of some updates or a better configuration. If you’re not sure about the details, it’s okay; just let me know what you find and I can guide you further. And yes, don’t worry—this is definitely something you can fix without deep technical knowledge.

They use DDR3. "Hardware reserved" problems can happen when the modules aren't seated properly. Swapping them out (pulling and reinserting) usually resolves the issue. Just try reinserting them and check if 16 GB is free now.

I'm testing with one stick at a time. One stick provides 4GB RAM while 2.1MB is reserved; other sticks are still being determined.

A modest quantity of reserved memory space is typical; worry arises only if it reaches gigabytes.

An igpu can allocate up to approximately 4 GB of system memory, as long as it meets the requirements

Typically I find them around 512 MB, possibly up to 1 GB. It seems APUs might exceed that size, but the fact that 2.1 MB is reserved with 4 GB indicates either no iGPU is available or it’s already disabled.

With three sticks in three slots I receive 12GB, and the maximum reserved is 413MB per hour. I plan to test using all sticks.
