Half of my RAM is hardware reserved

Someone else had a similar issue and this is the resolution:
UPDATE I fixed one of the problems!!! turns out in my bios my manual timings for my ram were wrong. I corrected them and suddenly all 16 gb are being recognised and only 70mb are hardware dedicated!!!

I don't know how to check or change the manual timings for the ram in the BIOS

NTN, yes, that is my motherboard.

Go to Advanced Memory Settings.

Are you able to get a pic there from the submenu?

I tried changing the Extreme Memory Profile to Profile 1 from Disabled but that didn't change anything, so I changed it back.


Here's a picture of my BIOS speed. 2133MHz seems low compared to the solution I posted earlier for someone else with the same issue, but I don't know.

What was the original memory settings before you changed it?

I tried this:
You may even disable it through Device Manager.
Open ‘Device Manager’ in Windows PC via Windows Search Box and expand ‘Display Adapters’ category.
Right-click on your integrated graphics and select ‘Disable Device’ to disable it. Click ‘Yes’ if asked for confirmation. Once done, check if the issue is resolved.
It shut down three of my four screens but Task Manager still showed 16GB hardware reserved, so I enabled it.

Please be patient, we are not sitting beside you.

NTN, I'm not sure what original memory settings you are referring to. Everything I've tried I've reset to the way I found them after each try.

Megahertz, where do I disable the SATA ports? I'll give it a try.

NTN, thanks for your help. I'm trying things as fast as I can so the thread seems busy. I always put things back the way I found them right away so that I don't create a second problem. I hope that you will continue to make suggestions.

Megahertz, below is the BIOS SATA screen:
