Hi there! I see you're having an issue with your RAM settings. It sounds like your system is reporting 4GB instead of the expected 8GB, even though you've adjusted the frequency. You might want to check the actual installed RAM using Device Manager or a memory diagnostic tool. Also, ensure your BIOS is set to the correct speed and that your motherboard supports the desired configuration. If the problem persists, consider consulting a tech support resource or checking for any firmware updates. Let me know if you need more help! Cheers!

If available memory usage is lower than installed in Windows, begin by verifying the displayed RAM in the BIOS/UEFI settings. When the BIOS only shows 4GB, first attempt to reinsert your RAM modules. Consult your motherboard manual to confirm proper installation locations—typically, slots are arranged with the RAM placed in the farthest slot from the CPU and the second slot from it. This guide may seem unclear, but your manual will provide clarity. Concerning speeds, certain CPU models and chipset configurations don’t support XMP/DOCP or higher rates. Double-check supported speeds on both the CPU manufacturer’s site (Intel or AMD) and the motherboard vendor’s documentation. For instance, some Intel processors on specific chipsets may not handle RAM above 2666MHz, so trying higher speeds could force them to revert to default (2133MHz). If you share your motherboard model, CPU type, and RAM specifications, we can help confirm the correct settings for you.

Examining these options shows the RAM model isn’t included in the Qualified Vendor List for this motherboard. Also, your CPU only accepts 2666mhz RAM. First generation Ryzen devices tend to be quite selective about RAM compatibility. This problem hasn’t happened before. If you recently changed the BIOS, consider reverting to an older version. Updating without changing the BIOS might help improve support. Proceed carefully—some BIOS updates could remove CPU compatibility. Be sure not to upgrade to a version that prevents your CPU from being recognized. Another approach is to manually configure your RAM to 2666mhz, which is the official limit for your processor. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to run it at 2133mhz or switch to a different RAM package.
