  • Do you have, and are you using, a dedicated graphics card?

    If using the inbuilt GPU that’s on your motherboard, windows will use system ram as GPU ram.

    If that isnt the issue, can you tell us: windows version(s) you’ve tried, confirm all your ram sticks are same brand and size, and confirm if it’s ever worked on this computer.





  • While in principle this is a great piece of news, reality isn’t as optimistic and I’d suggest asking questions before deciding to celebrate. When single use plastic shopping bags were outlawed, reusable bag sales went up (as you’d expect), but based on the numbers I saw, the reusable bags cause overall greater levels of emissions and refuse than the plastic they replaced.

    In layman’s terms, if a 1-use plastic bag has an environmental cost of “1 carbon”, and a (bigger, heavier, made of multiple things) reusable bag has an environmental cost of “14 carbons”, the reusable bag has to be used 14 times to be a better option, but in practice they’re used around about half that many times before being damaged / thrown away.
