I just built my first complete computer on my own and have been dealing with minor issues here and there. My current problem is that I have 16GB ram installed it only shows 2.10GB usable. It was a fresh install of Win10 but didnt realize it said only 2.10GB usable until I went to activate it, after installing all software of course :-/ According to resource monitor, it shows 14235MB reserved by hardware but I can't figure it out. Also checked MSCONFIG boot advanced options that maximum memory and number of processors aren't checked. Seems to be a BIOS thing because I removed one stick and it now shows 2.10GB usable of 8GB, but I don't understand this BIOS very well and am not seeing anything that would limit it.
Please Help!
