there is a function in the BIOS, activation is more than 4GB, and of course, the system should be 64 bit

System 64 and what is the name of the function?

I have it called, memory remap feature, but it can be written differently, take the dictionary

asus x75vc

RAM :

- DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM, 4 GB of internal memory,

- 1 slot (s) SO-DIMM, max. up to 8 GB

then he didn’t see the bar before

Can the BIOS update?

most likely the memory socket did not work before that ...

or runs on a specific memory ...

BIOS update - it should not be worse, but will it help?

Sometimes it happens that they write up to 8GB !!! and at the same time 8 gigabytes do not work)))

Well, depending on what kind of plug you have in the laptop and what level on the laptop, the idea should be SO DIMM

Everything is right and true.
