HELP WITH MY PC
çA few days ago I cleaned my PC and the RAM came out and I put it back in. Since that day, my task manager says I have 230MB of memory reserved for the hardware. The truth is that it feels like in some games when I use Discord that the PC is running a little bad. Since then, I wanted to know if anyone knows how to get it out because I've tried a thousand ways cleaning the physical RAM, from startup too, I've tried, I don't know what else to do, I've seen a thousand videos and none of them work, could it be Windows? HELPPPPPPP

Did you put them in the correct slots?

RAM typically goes in slot 2 and 4 first. From left to right.

did you maybe hook up the monitor to the mainboard instead of gpu?

Tell me if you first unplugged the PC or turned off the main switch to the PSU BEFORE attempting to clean the PC or was it still juicing a bit on "standby"? :csd2smile:

memory reserved to the hardware is typically caused by an integrated gpu being active. check the list of gpus. if there is 2, then there is an integrated one.

in bios disable the igpu, and enable xmp

if its an old board, pentium 4 or core 2 and earlier, it may have a bios option for memory hole, which remaps some ram address areas
you can disable that for windows 2000/xp and later
