Go to SolutionMemory-Hardware Reserved
Dell Inspiron 15 3542 Win 7, 64bit shipped w/ 4Gb mem single slot. Replaced with an 8Gb of same speed, voltage and timing. Bios sees 8Gb. Windows sees 8Gb but reports 3.41Gb usable the balance in "Hardware Reserverd" state. No options in Bios to reserve memory.....Stumped. Any ideas?
Also ran the Dell diag, no issues.
Thanks

Solved, msconfig has a Max Memory variable.
