Turn off the igpu when not in use. Or press win + r, go to msconfig, select boot, then advanced options, and uncheck maximum memory.

Everything looks typical to me. Computers don’t behave like mobile phones. From what I understand, mobile devices tend to keep more RAM active all the time. PCs only consume what they actually require. Didn’t realize the 'hardware reserved section' is being used—are you referring to the iGPU?

everything is fine, just don’t want it fully used. It’s similar to driving a car—you don’t push it all the way.

The 3.18GB capacity listed in system specifications seems unusual. If other solutions aren't working, consider reinserting the RAM modules into a different slot.

4.8GB is allocated for hardware components like iGPU. Adjust this value in BIOS or turn off iGPU if you possess a dedicated GPU.

Which motherboard? If it's a Gigabyte board, please share a photo of the MIT status menu. I can also send a picture of the board and RAM if you'd like.

his system uses an older processor, and during the second generation setup it restricted RAM allocation for the GPU to just one gigabyte, which is significantly higher than what it needs.

Additionally, the i7 860 lacks an integrated graphics processor.

The 3Gig RAM being usable is troubling... it seems straightforward, like turning off the IGUP as recommended.
