So i just upgraded my pc to a Ryzen 5 1600 on a MSI gaming Pro carbon with 8gb of Geil Evo Potenza at 2133 MHZ and i can only use 4-ish gb of it because the rest is 'Reserved'. I assume because of integrated graphics but the R5 1600 doesn't have an iGpu and i have spent forever in the BIOS looking for a solution or option to fix it but i cant find one. I have already tried updating my BIOS re-seating RAM checking the MSCONFIG and i have checked to make sure that i am running a 64 bit version of windows but none of it works and i literally don't have the money to buy another kit of DDR4. So PLEASE help me i cant find a answer.
