Remappage de la mémoire

Solved
amanoe -  
I have 3GB out of 4 usable. After a little research, I found that I need to enable Memory Remap from the BIOS, but I can't find the option (and the fact that my BIOS is in German doesn't help).

I read that the option is usually found in the "Advanced" menu. I just took a screenshot:

Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I see you're new to this site, so welcome!
    But we can't help you without a minimum of information about your PC^^
    Please provide the make and model if it's a branded PC,
    as well as the OS used and its version (32-bit or 64-bit)

    Memory remap
    If it's a branded PC, not all options in the BIOS of assembled PCs exist, so it might be your case, as I don't see anything resembling it on the BIOS page provided in the attachment.

    P.S.: The language of the BIOS can most likely be switched to English, as it is the default language of BIOS, even if the PC is manufactured in Germany.

      Thank you for the response!

      So I don’t know what information to provide:
      The brand of my computer is Lenovo
      The version of the BIOS: LENOVO 2MKT37AGR

      I searched for this version online without success.

      Once again, if needed, I could take a screenshot of the other categories in the BIOS.

        Hi

        This is a laptop if it's a Lenovo; in that case, the missing GB is probably used by the chip integrated into the motherboard or the processor.

          I apologize once again, I didn’t know that it mattered.

          It’s not a laptop but a desktop PC: Lenovo M58 9960.

            Hm I'm in the manager but I don't see where I could check if my card is integrated or not

            I would also like to add that before my graphics card change I could use the entirety of my RAM (4GB) it is possible that the problem comes from there (I just realized it now)

            My old GPU was a GeForce 210, my new one is a Quadro FX 1700.

          Before my graphics card upgrade, I could use all of my RAM (4GB), so it's possible that the problem comes from there
          Indeed, that's probably the reason if your new GPU has a large amount of memory
          You can read:
          "This difference between the amount of physical memory installed and the amount available under Windows is explained by the presence of a high zone in the RAM, located just below 4GB, where the memory addresses used by various PCI expansion devices are stored, a specificity imposed by the x86 architecture. Thus, the embedded video memory of the Graphics Cards partially reduces the total amount of accessible memory."
