Hello all ive come looking for some help regarding my RAM i am not very good with computers and i do not know much about them so im hoping you can help me out.
I decided to purchase a new PC and went for the OCUK Ultimate Viper (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-101-OE) with the OcUK Value GeForce GTX 460 768MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Everything is perfect untill i hit my RAM ive got 6GB but it seems my computer is only running with 2GB?
The RAM is - RAM: Kingston HyperX 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel
Ill attach pictures to this so you can better see what i am talking about.
First of all i opened CPU-Z to check my ram and sure enough it says 6GB
But when i open windows task manager it says i have 2GB? and my physical memory is normally at 90% while playing WoW
So i decided to check out the System tab in windows and it says i have 6GB but only 2GB usable? my RAM is also the reason for such a low windows score with everything else being 7.5+
I really do not understand most of this and im fairly confused as to whats going on, is my RAM faulty or broken?
Thanks for any help you can give me
