help with RAM usage

Baz21226 · 15 Dec 2017 at 16:01

was wondering if anyone can figure this out for me please. so I have 8gb of DDR4 memory but when I'm gaming only 5.4 of this is being seen by the computer eg. 2.2 used 3.2 free. but in task manager it shows I have 8gb and also in CAM which is what I use to look at temps and speeds etc it shows I have 8gb. only thing I can see is that in task manager it says 2.0 is compressed but ive never had this problem before.
sorry if all this sounds confusing I'm not really a tech guy. thanks

sorry about the big pics but hope these explain better so as you can see at start up I'm already using 2GB of RAM. The second shows it saying I have 8GB in my system. And then last one is my in game display saying out of the 8GB I'm using 1.2GB and have 4.3GB free out of 8GB. ive never seen it say this. Also my CPU seems to be spiking to 100% load sometimes on startup
