Windows 10 reserving 4GB of RAM

Question

i recently got a computer (second hand) which runs with no issues. Specs, as shown in Settings. NOTE: There is also a 4GB GTX 1050TI installed

However, only 3.95GB of the 8GB is marked as usable, with the other 4.1GB marked as "Hardware Reserved." I tried running Windows Memory Diagnostic, which came back clean. I looked at "msconfig > boot > Advanced" which looks like this.

As far as i'm aware, my BIOS doesn't seem to have any memory-related settings in it.

Any help is appreciated, and don't hesitate to ask for any more information.

Answer 1

It turns out that one of the sticks are dead, but still registering on the computer. The solution seems to be new ram, which I've installed, and all 8 gigs are now recognised and functioning.
