I'm using win7 64bit,and installed 8gb Ram to fluently run photoshop which needs 2,4GB alone, BIOS can see 8GB, but system tekes 4GB to peripherial hardware, isn't it too much? How can I increase amount of physical memory( my OS can see 3,99GB. Any ideas? Thanks for help

Can you give us your computer specs to see what we are working with.

Thank you.

Hi Jerzy - Welcome to w7forums

Try enabling the "memory remap" option in the system BIOS

While I'am waiting for the computer specs try removing the CMOS battery of the Mobo but be very careful doing it because you are playing with the component that is vital to the computer I recommend if you aren't comfortable doing this take it to a computer repairer to do. in most cases it will solve all problems however after removing it you have to enter the BIOS to set all settings to their defults.

Coco you forgot to mention placing the battery back after a few minutes.

Then boot into the system BIOS to check all the settings and make sure all devices are being detected.

Jerzy, I may have an idea on this one. Please right-click "My Computer" and select properties. This will bring up the system information panel. In the middle of the screen it will say "System Type".

If your system says "32-bit Operating System" then you will need to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 to use more than 4GB of RAM.
