So recently i've realised my computer has been running slower than usual and just by chance i noticed that my RAM has halved itself from 4GB to 2GB. I honestly have no idea why or how i can fix this.
If anyone has any suggestions on what could be wrong or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! Will also give rep to helpful answers

Can you enter the BIOS?

If you can, see how much memory it shows in there.

If its 2gb, then you've got a hardware issue.

I'd have to speak to my dad about that as he knows what he's doing in that area! Thanks for the shout though i'll drop you some rep now
