So my computer is running windows 10 (from windows 7) and I decided to dual-boot it with Ubuntu. I encountered this stubborn problem; I have 2 slots for ddr3 ram and I placed 4GB and 2GB of sticks on them, which was working properly but after some time the task manager on windows shows that I have 2gb of ram on hardware reserved. I tried to check this on htop and it shows the same thing. Is it possible that GRUB is putting the ram on reserved? I tried CMOS reset, some simple configuration on windows 10, running the pc without the gpu, but nothing worked permanently. Is there any solution on this on Ubuntu? Thanks.
