Hello community,

Today i did fresh install of Proxmox. While doing first setup I discovered that my system is showing only 11,62GiB RAM as usable from 24Gbit

I checked ram with dmidecode -t memory -q and here is result
Code:

All other operating systems as Ubunut & Windows. These system are detecting correct ammount of RAM which is 24 Gbit.

I tried to disable XMPP profile in BIOS to see if it will affect it but without any result.

Thanks for the help

Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.
 
Did you install Proxmox in BIOS Lecagy mode instead of UEFI? Maybe WIndows does boot in UEFI mode. What is the output of proxmox-boot-tool status?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
I installed it in UEFI mode and NEM testing from live boot.
Code: 
Re-executing '/usr/sbin/proxmox-boot-tool' in new private mount namespace..
E: /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids does not exist.

That does not convince me that you are actually booting in UEFI mode. What is the output of ls /sys/firmware/efi/?

Then I don't know. Try swapping the 4GB and 8GB modules?
EDIT: And try updating the motherboard BIOS, it may have improved memory compatibility or other fixes. Windows might read ACPI tables differently and your vendor might have broken it for Linux.
