dcs18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Are you using Windows 7 - I don't see that issue on my 8.1 (getting fully usable RAM.)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978610About your GPU-Z reading - did you try rebooting the system?

rudrax Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If you don't have a dedicated GPU in your system, the integrated one will use some system memory (RAM) as video memory and that will be locked for the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusG Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) @SabotaSe Using 4GB Ram in a single Or multiple slots???I think the remaining memory(4.00GB/3.40GB) is used by Hardware Reserved/requirement & Hardware virtualization things Edited April 3, 2014 by NexusG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just checked on my Windows 7 (SP1) - not an issue, either.Are you running a Windows 7 without the SP1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f33nix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just checked on my Windows 7 (SP1) - not an issue, either.Are you running a Windows 7 without the SP1?He is running Windows 8.1 x64, as he writes and also in screenshot (driver version)To OP: Have you been into BIOS to see if you can lower the "shared" RAM assigned to your graphics card?I have mine set to 1GB, but then I have 16GB to play with but you can on my machine assign low amount if needed.So take a look inside your BIOS to see what you can change your allocated RAM to.

dcs18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think you may find your answer as a setting in your BIOS (as also mentioned earlier by f33nix) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 where I find that virtualization and can be disabled?In BIOS.IMO, disabling that, it may cause lag in performance or the option may not be there if your GPU doesn't have any inbuilt vRAM with it and the GPU of Celeron 847 does not have any vRAM with it.

And in other to reduced that, You have to Flash the BIOS with a less resource firmware.On Android it is possible by removing blootware apps and flashing with a Custom OS.

Better to consult service center guys. They would be happy to clear your doubt. Edited April 3, 2014 by rudrax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f33nix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Secure changed the bios settings? I was afraid to crash or hang because I'm not a technician :sDo not be afraid of BIOS...If you Press F2 to enter your BIOS, then navigate with the cursor keys to this location shown, then you need to press Enter on this Section called "Graphics Configuration"Then take picture with your cell phone or other camera then upload for viewing.Just remember you can exit BIOS on right hand side without actually saving ANY changes!

davmil Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 What's the problem? The report or your app(s) need the breathing room? If it's a functionality driven problem memory's cheap enough.. pull what you've got, sell it on eBay and install 8gb. If CPUz's got an issue and everything runs fine, report it and move on. I agree with rudrax, don't muck with the BIOS unless you know what you're doing. Your machine should run OK with the default BIOS setups.
