While booting, BIOS shows RAM as 16GB....
While in Windows 7 64-bit, it shows 16GB when I right click Computer and click properties.
Now here is where it gets odd.... I pull up OpenHardwareMonitor, Available Memory fluctuates depending on what I am doing. Anywhere between 10.9GB-14.3GB without even doing much. Basic web browsing and such.
This has never happened. I did a recent windows update.... I am wondering if it has something to do with that? I have checked all sticks of RAM one by one. They all do the same thing. I have 4 sticks of 4GB.
My computer is consuming more ram than usual.
So far I have tried updating BIOS, then downgrading.
Checked MSCONFIG under BOOT tab.... nothing helped.
What else can I do? Please help!
Anyone ever heard of this?
My specs are as follows:
Motherboard: GA-78LMT-USB3 ver.6.0
Processor: AMD FX6300 Black Edition -BIOS OC @4.1GHZ no voltage, just multi.
RAM: 4x4GB=16GB 1333mhz -Set to auto in BIOS (Still not sure why, ram is rated at 1600mhz)
VideoCard: GIGABYTE GeForce GT 730 -OC w/O.C. GURU II +133 Core +346 Memory
Powersupply: Corsair 600w
Any other questions?
PLEASE help.... I am trying to determine if I am going to need to replace something because I work from home and this is my machine. Everything else seems to work fine. I get good frame rates while gaming still. I am just trying to understand what is going on and taking preventative action before I go back to work on Monday.
Thank you for your time and I appreciate any and all input.
