Well, the title pretty much says it. My laptop doesn't even use a full GB. I want to know how to clean it off, or reset it (if that is safe?) Here is what it looks like in System.

Any help would be appreciated! :)

Thank you guys for the help, it turns out that one of the ram chips was recently moved and i needed to relocate it into its spot. :)

Its not my laptop that I'm having the problem with. My desktop has 16GB installed, but whilst idling it is using 8GB. I want to know how to clean it off, or reset it or something. It is making my games lag while im recording. :(

It is a dell inspiron 3656. Im sorry for the misunderstanding but its not my laptop, its my desktop. When I mentioned my laptop, i just meant that it is using a lot less ram than my desktop. I attached a link to my computer and its specs. Also, I bought it with windows 10.

I didnt order it from dell, I got it off of Ebay (open box). It used to not have this problem, but if I can't find another solution I may contact them. I dont think that I should do it right away, as other people have had the same problem.
