Hello, I observed that the control panel displays 8GB of RAM but only 6.95GB is available. After searching online without success, I’m seeking advice to optimize my RAM usage. Your specs are noted for reference. Thank you!
Is your on-board video from the A6 7400k active? It usually isn't since you have a dedicated GPU however there usually is a setting on the BIOS to explicitly tell the mobo to keep the APU portion active (it can do things like supporting additional monitors or use the GPU cores for compute tasks, etc) I'd check for that option first.
the setup is designed this way, you won't always get full access to 8GB
I’d verify that both memory cards are functioning properly by removing one and observing the impact. An unusual RAM reading in the BIOS could indicate unstable or damaged RAM, IMC, or socket issues.
You entered the BIOS but didn’t find any information about the on-board graphics from your APU. It’s likely it’s not active, as you removed all related drivers and programs.
I can't take or display screenshots directly. However, I can describe what you're looking for or guide you on how to capture it yourself.
I believed I could assist, though I've never encountered this before. A standard web search for BIOS settings only returns APU information. Excuse me for the inconvenience. EDIT: consider updating your BIOS.
Open Task Manager and select the second page. Additional details will appear there.
Check the Peripherals\GFX Configuration in BIOS, change Integrated Graphics to disabled. If not successful, switch it to Forced and adjust the UMA Frame Buffer Size to its lower value.
