Hello.I have asrock A320M-DGS mother board Nvidea GTX 1050ti 4gb DDR4(2400) 8Gb ram. It shows that only 3.95gb are usable and the other 4.1 are hardware reserved. I tried the max memory on boot but nothing happens,When i restarts it's lik i didn't even change it.
i also tried from the bios to lower the onboard graphic usage of ram but the bios is limited and i dont have a lot of options there. can anyone help ?
i just bought the pc from germany. oh yea and i tried swiching the ram cards but nothing and i have onli two slots. please help!

OK, Ive got something for you:
your motherboard has no onboard graphics chip, so no worries. (http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/A320M-DGS/)
AMD Ryzen CPUs has very specific RAM specification, so it will only use dual channel, when it has the good type of speed and setting (in your case, your RAM is not supported my AMD's Ryzen CPUs. https://www.amd.com/system/files/2017-06/am4-motherboard-memory-support-list-en_0.pdf)
And memory cannot be entirely full, it will free up as you go. So I don't think you have to worry about it too much. Even RAM-hungry apps like Photoshop don't use your RAM at 100%( Test with 8GB laptop with 4cores 2.3Ghz), so games won't need that much RAM to run, it will free up as you go. If you have a good SSD, the SWAP...

Hey, It's fine. My laptop has 4.1 GB of system memory too. I run games fine with that, you won't get too much performance decrease. Just relax and do your usual things.
Your on-board don't use ANY memory of you have a graphics card, anyway your board don't even have on-board graphics... So........

However, if you see any performance decrease, you really should:
1. Clean up your desktop and fast access folders. They do this so you can access your files faster.
2. Go find useless RAM-hungry programs and kill them in Task Manager.

If you have a good SSD, the SWAP could always help.

But really, I don't think that you will have any problems having 4.1GB of System reserved memory. I have 16GB and I have 4.1GB system memory. And I rarely get passed 7GB, even when I play 2 different games on 2 monitors. So I think you would be fine.
