Free -m command shows -
Mem :

Total - 3396

Used - 756

Free - 2213

Shared - 33

Buff/cache - 427

Available - 2365

My CPU is G4400, Ram is 4gb DDR4

Do you have iGPU enabled?

3

Checking

4

Also BIOS settings may contain option which disable using RAM which over 32-bit addressing memory space
I have not seen this for long time but old motherboards may have this option.

5

Is igpu integrated intel gpu ? Because my monitor is connect to MoBo so it’s probably using it. I am successfully mining for months using this setup - monitor connected to MoBo with 12*1050ti but out of curiosity I checked it today to see how much ram is available. My monitor has only vga port.

I can’t find igpu but in BIOS- Chipset- Graphics Configuration- Internal Graphics is on Enabled

7

Yes iGPU it’s Internal Graphics. It seems like some parts of RAM dedicated for using by iGPU.
You can try disable iGPU or find and reduce dedicated RAM for iGPU

8

There is a Primary display option which is on IGFX but there are options for PEG and PCIE too. As I will disable Internal Graphics should I set primary display from IGFX to PCIE or set it to AUTO ?

9

AFAIK usually we have 3 options in BIOS in modern MB

  1. PEG = x16
  2. PCI/PCIE = it’s can be any PCI/PCI-E slot
  3. iGPU = Internal graphics
    2 and 3 in most cases not suitable with NVidia cards.

Solved. Disabled igpu and now its good.
