hd3000 using too much ram? 1030mb allocated causing memory issues?

‎05-16-2012 08:03 AM

HI, running a dv6-6176sa (windows 7 32bit) with switchable graphics hd3000/ amd 6490 and i recently did a reinstall to an ssd so moved everything over , reinstalled graphics drivers etc and all is good except for some reason with 4gb ram fitted I only have 2.5 available and it seems that the hd3000 even though it is not being used is taking 1030mb of ram. 

 

I am constantly getting out of memory errors where as I never used to get this issue (I suspect that the hd3000 is taking way too much ram) is there a way to alter this? there are no settings in BIOS.

 

cheers
