You just assembled your new setup with a Ryzen 5 1600, an Asrock B450M/AC board, 16 GB of Timetec 2666mhz RAM, and the GTX 1060 3GB OC GPU. The power supply is a 450BT EVGA unit. In the system settings, the total appears as 16 GB, but Task Manager shows only 7.9 GB free. It seems the partitioning might be incorrect or partially overwritten. Check your partitions and ensure the correct drive is selected. If processes aren’t consuming all space, it’s likely the allocation isn’t optimized. Let me know if you need help adjusting the partitions. Thanks!

Need a visual? Consider putting the RAM sticks back in.

Here’s what you’re observing: it’s using about 2.2GB while idle, which isn’t too alarming, but the main issue is it only displays 9.8GB of RAM. That’s what bothers you the most. I’m new to this and didn’t have my screenshot tool ready, so it’s a bit confusing. I can’t delete the extra data.
