        Thanks.

        real memory = 8192MB

              Hmm. Been a while since I saw that. It sure looks like a 32bit restriction....

              What exactly are you running that on?

                pfSense only offers a 64 bit edition he would not be able to run 32 bit hardware and the 32 bit edition was discontinued as far as I know

                  I know...that's what's crazy. I created the 64-bit USB installer from the Download page and installed it on an HP Pavilion p7-1254 box. I need to reboot it and check the BIOS for the shared video memory option, but I'm almost positive that Win10 saw the entire 8GB.

                      I'll try that, too. If the on-board video is the culprit, I'll throw a cheap video card in it.

                        @hoopin4you I highly doubt the onboard video has anything to do with it

                          Yeah, it's not 32bit pfSense, it can't be. And it's impossible to believe the on-board video claimed 4GB!

                          I was hoping to see the complete boot log, there may be some other clue there.

                          I could imagine some BIOS compatibility setting causing this. It's not uncommon to see Windows get a completely different set of values from the BIOS than any other OS.

                            No dice on setting the BIOS to defaults, and there was no video option in there either. Here is the complete boot log.

                              do you have an option to run a memtest86? edit: (regardless of everything)

                              while, I recommend this to your attention as well:

                                Hmm, not much there.

                                You might try booting in verbose mode. Create the file /boot/loader.conf.local then add to it: boot_verbose="YES".

                                That will give you a lot more output at boot. It may show you some ACPI errors or similar responsible for this.

                                  Since the OS can't possibly be 32-bit your next culprit is the BIOS.

                                  FreeBSD shows you what hardware is there (8GB) and then what has been made available to the OS (~3GB).

                                  Check for things like memory allocated to onboard video, any kind of memory management that might be geared toward a 32-bit OS, and other things of that nature.

                                    @jimp How could the video memory card allocate that much ram?

                                      Ask the BIOS. I've seen onboard "gaming" video cards that would happily claim multiple GB of RAM if given permission in the BIOS.

                                        @hoopin4you Hi, did you ever solve this issue?

                                        I've just install a 64bit pfsense v2.5.2 and pfsense is only using 3.3gb of RAM.

                                        BIOS and pfsense logs both show 8gb.

                                        Real = 8192MB
                                        Available = 3317MB

                                        How did you get around this?

                                          What hardware are you installing on? Some early 64bit systems had some interesting BIOS 'quirks'.

                                            I never figured it out, and since then, I am now using a Cisco router.
