[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 784325, member: 31436"] You need to do a clean install of a 64 bit version of Windows 7. On most systems, 32 bit versions of Windows are can only use up to 3.5GB of RAM. As has been mentioned, some of your RAM is being used for video memory. [URL="https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/maximum-ram-for-windows-7-32-bit/4286bbfa-6851-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5"]Maximum RAM For Windows 7 32-bit[/URL] Your CPU is a 64 bit one, so it will support 64 bit versions of Windows. Don't worry about changing page file settings. Not only can Windows manage the page file just fine by itself, but changing the settings won't compenstate for the limited amount of RAM. Alternatively you could install Windows 10. You can activiate it for free with your Windows 7 product key. [/QUOTE]
