Memory Problem in Windows 7

11 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/memory-problem-in-windows-7.164409/

Dear Friends,

My computer shows only 3.73 GB usable although I have 8 GB RAM. Why this is happening? Please Help. Also I noticed Through Virtual Box that My Windows 7 uses only 4 GB RAM. That means another 4GB is sitting like a duck...?? :-(

Please Help.

Thanks in Advance...

Here is the Screenshot................

I've experienced the same with my 4GB RAM, where it showed 3.73GB as usable.
Check your msconfig and uncheck like below, if you've selected anything!

Check whether ur mobo spec-sheet regarding RAM limit.

Mine is not checked and showing 3.25GB usable.
I have 4GB RAM and Windows 32Bit.

I guess, Win7-32-bit has a barrier of 4GB limit.
Thats why you're getting like that, i guess.

Hi bro did you check your bios is there any restrictions for ram sticks???

You are most probably using 32bit OS and that's why this memory limitation happened.

Ya,I'm using 32Bit.

^^ Get 64bit one man! Why wasting & limiting RAM in your system?

^ Maybe we should help OP. He's the one who need help.

Where is OP BTW ?
