1 Hello!
2
3 In my current PC I have 16 GB of RAM installed. It worked fine until
4 today, when I upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 5 1500X to a Ryzen 7 2700.
5 The system boots up just fine, but when I use the free command the total
6 memory is only 8 GB. When I looked into the BIOS, it showed me the
7 correct amount. What should I do?
