Hi folks,
Today I replaced my old GeForce 8500GT graphics card with a brand new HD5770. After installing the new card though I have a problem - windows now is only letting me use 3GB of my 6GB of RAM!
It's coming up in the Resource Monitor as 'Hardware Reserved' which I assume is for the HD5770, but why would it need 3GB of RAM on top of its 1GB already?
When I start the system it is only showing 3GB, though the 'Windows Experience Index' states that there is 6GB of RAM (3GB usable), and as said, the Resource Monitor lists 3GB of RAM as hardware reserved.
How do I change this and get back to using the full 6GB?
My system specs are:
- Windows 7 64-bit (yes, it's definately 64-bit)
- 6GB DDR2 800 RAM
- HD5770 Graphics
- Gigabyte M61-PM-S2
I did look at the Bios, but can't find anything about shared memory etc.
