I switched my RAM to slots 1 and 3, which are marked black. The problem disappeared after that change. Some sources suggest using the color-coded red slots first. I’m still unsure if the slot arrangement is correct or why the reservation happens.

Based on my observations, a BIOS reset and adjusting or relocating the RAM modules often resolves the "Hardware Reserved" problem you encountered. You likely fixed it by moving the RAM to the designated slots. However, keeping the RAM in those specific slots isn't necessary. The circuit board should ideally use a T-Topology instead of a Daisy Chain; otherwise, placing the RAM in incorrect slots may not function properly, especially at high speeds. Once the issue is resolved, returning to the red-colored slots is recommended for improved stability. It's improbable the problem will return. Also, upgrading from 3000Mhz to 3200Mhz won't significantly boost performance. You might have even been able to optimize your original RAM to 3200Mhz without extra cost.

Returning to the original positions and functions worked again. Thanks for asking—I wouldn’t have adjusted them back in otherwise.
