Your system has more RAM than it appears, but Windows is limiting it to 6 GB. Restarting resolves the issue, though performance remains slow. Check for background processes or memory leaks that might be affecting speed.

I don't have that information. Could you clarify what you're referring to?

You begin your computer and it displays 6 with a limit of 4. After restarting, it shows 8 with a limit of 8. When you restart again, the issue resurfaces.

It's interesting how you can run more than 4GB+ on a 32-bit system by modifying the kernel. Having full specs would be helpful, and it seems like you might already have a GPU consuming about 2GB.

I have an AMD FX 6300 CPU board with a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 GPU, Radeon HD 7850, and 1GB and 8GB RAM at 1600MHz. When I power on, it shows 6GB and 4GB RAM. After restarting, it displays 8GB RAM. I’m unsure if the issue recurs after a few restarts; yesterday it worked fine after a reset, but today it’s happening again.

Two RAM modules. It seems when I check my system, it lists 6GB with 4 used, but CPU-Z shows 8GB total.

When using resmon, check the memory section and see if the missing space is labeled "Hardware Reserved." If so, enable Memory Remapping in BIOS. Often the issue lies with the remapping being turned off or unsupported rather than a hardware problem. Another possibility is swapping RAM sticks temporarily to rule out a faulty stick.

Resmon displays the information: 6 GB installed. After restarting, the display updated to: 9 GB installed.

Consider executing memtest86 to detect any issues. Additionally, check the BIOS update for your motherboard and replace the DIMMs if needed.
