So, first of all, I swapped out one of my 2 old 2gb sticks for a 4gb one, so I total at 6gb. I noticed that it was being detected but wasn't being used. Miraculously, one time it did and it completely slowed my fps to below 20 in a game.
I capped my RAM to 4096 and it was working fine for about a month, then today happened. Playing a game as normal, but then I got disproportionately huge drops in frames. I realized my usage was at around 5.11 GB in task manager. I went back to try to cap it again to see that not only was it completely uncapped, but when I tried to recap it, there now reads out to be a total of 3568 MB, or exactly 3.48 usable GB. Whenever I try to recap it, I only get the same result. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
TL;DR: my computer's screwed
Can anyone help me out here?
