    Problem about RAM & Hardware reserved. Need advice.

    Hi, some similar reports have been posted- if you search for these, ignore those related to using 32bit Windows on >4Gb RAM- that's not your situation of course.

    Noted there are differences in the last two CPU-Z reports on your RAM, which may suggest something about that in slot 2.

    See e.g.
    Hardware reserved memory issue - Windows 10 Forums
    on RAM issues.
