the problem is i have an a10 7700k but i disabled the igpu but its still taking 2gbs of ram even after i unallocated all the ram in the bios and threw an r9 380 in there window only shows 6gbs usable and its extremely irritating
 
Solution
That's about right, same here. It's a way to speed up system and fit more stuff in RAM so it doesn't swap as much to disk. It will not cause shortage of memory.
