OK. please don't take me the wrong way (easy to do in this venue): Nothing wrong with choosing AMD, it is just not for me and my needs and longer.

Have you recently installed or updated anything (such as phone software or devices of any kind)? Do you have any devices that you can access (like your phone) connected to the PC?

From reading your posts, this number looks to have grown since you started the thread, so start looking at things that have changed since that time.

To each's own,but yeah I have not changed anything on the pc as far as installing Far Cry 4 on my pc. No updates from windows or any type of changes well LG installed drivers for my phone,but I doubt it will reserved that much memory for such a small task.

DING, DING! I am not a betting man, but uninstall all your phone software, and see if that clears it up.

EDIT: I uninstall all the previous phone softwares and drivers. No dramatic changes.

Ok so I switched the ram. I also reseated my cpu ( pain in the ass due to liquid cooler) I left the first slot empty and moved the ram to fill the third slot that was empty before.
Its now back to 11.9 usable. These asus boards are weird. I'm thinking about going Asrock or might just go back to MSI.

Nice screenshot, lol! Yes, either a weird board or a weird chipset, or a combination of the two. I used to be a Gigabyte man myself (I still like them). Glad to hear it is back to normal.

Its just weird how much memory went from 11.9gb to 7.90gb out of nowhere and yes I have rebooted many times and messed around with the bios settings.

That's a bad DIMM or memory-controller channel. Or faulty timings. (Is this mixed RAM?)

Actually, I just had a thought. If he was running dual channel mode with two different-sized dimms, I could see how the extra space in the larger dimm could be ignored.
