Hey there, I see you're dealing with a memory issue on your PC. Let's explore some potential fixes. You mentioned you've already adjusted the memory settings in msconfig, updated drivers, and refreshed your BIOS. Since that didn't resolve the problem, here are a few additional steps you might try:

- Check for background processes consuming memory.
- Run a disk cleanup or defragmentation to free up space.
- Consider using a memory diagnostic tool to identify faulty RAM.
- Try resetting your system settings or performing a factory reset.
- If you're using a newer OS, ensure compatibility with your hardware.

Feel free to share more details if you'd like further guidance!

Consider swapping your RAM slots to 2-4 or 1-3, possibly just needing a fresh install. If that fails, reattach all PSU connections to the motherboard and as a final option, install Windows on another SSD or HDD to check if the issue continues. Regards: F/

Sorry, I didn't note that. Also, attempt to start your computer using just one memory stick. Try it with both sticks; if it boots with only one, it might indicate a damaged or non-working stick.

You're welcome! I attempted to adjust the RAM slots but didn't test booting with a single stick. I'll make the update soon. Appreciate your patience.

Today I discovered computers have an intriguing nature. I changed my RAM sticks to slots 4 and 3, but nothing occurred. After moving them back to slots 1 and 2, my system allocated memory down to 80.1 MB and now has 15.9 GB available. Thanks @Fernandie for the advice.

Remember your brain functions better with dual-channel setups, and most motherboards offer 1-3 or 2-4 channels for dual-channel (beginning the farthest from the CPU). Check your motherboard’s specs to determine the right configuration.
