GA-H87M-D3H Windows 8.1 shows only 2,67GB RAM

[awl67]

Hi,

I'm new on the board.

Last week I bought new GA-H87M-D3H rev.1.0, installed new Intel Pentium G3220 processor and new DDR3 4GB/1600 CL11 GR1600D364L11/4G RAM and Windows 8.1 (32-bit) sees 4GB but shows 2,67GB available. What can be cause of that? I know there is an Integrated Graphics Processor which uses shared RAM but I have external Graphics installed. Should I change any settings in BIOS to prevent the RAM shared with other devices?

best regards,
Adam.

I have installed Windows 8.1 64-bit and it shows 3,88GB of 4GB.
