Hi I have a laptop with intel i7 CPU and 4000 integrated graphics. Also there is a Nvidia graphics card 600 generation. Laptop's got a total of 8GB ram DDR3. I have paging file disabled, one of reasons so that it uses my SSD as little as possible.
My programs cant seem to access the last quarter of RAM. When using just browser and other simple programs and taking 75% of memory (maybe 76%) I get windows (10) message that there's not enough memory and my programs crash.
I know that intel iGPU takes up some ram, but that amount is not static, but depends on how much is being needed. I don't think a lot is needed for simple internet browsing.
So why do I end up with just 6GB ram instead of 8GB? I can't do the simplest things on this laptop and will need to upgrade to 16GB.
Cheers
