i3 with 4 GB of RAM shows only 3.86 GB available

G_handle · Jan 5, 2014

In linux or windows 7 64 bit OS the available RAM is 3.86 GB of 4 GB installed. Is this a bad RAM problem or something else?

It might be. Is it a desktop or laptop?

This is a desktop computer

Single RAM module? If dual, try leaving single RAM and check the amount. Test in both slots.

the system reserves some of it for the OS but mainly for the iGP as the integrated graphics needs a portion.

It shouldn't, if 64 bit.

If you have the possibility then go to computer store and ask if they have two SODIMM and see what then says.

@Alexoiu: you are right; I had somehow XP in mind

Hi, I used memtest86+ to test the RAM and it found a fault in the RAM, but I can't figure out which stick of RAM has the problem. I will have to open up the computer and test I RAM module at a time.

It seems so.
