Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The issue described indicates a problem with recognizing the installed RAM, which directly involves the RAM itself (A) and potentially the motherboard (C), as the motherboard is responsible for detecting and utilizing the RAM. If the system is showing less RAM than installed, it could be due to a faulty RAM module or issues with the RAM slots on the motherboard.
