I think something is up with the IGP on my 2500k, my memory in UEFI is showing like this:

Total Memory : 8192MB with 64MB Shared Memory and 2MB GTT Memory



that bit about shared memory has to do with the IGP right? but I have a dedicated 7950, and im not seeing anything about my integrated graphics being enabled anywhere

this is causing my computer to not work right, no idea what to do here

I don't know a lot about IGP's, but that is an extraordinarily small amount of RAM being shared, much lower than the IGP would need to function properly. I'm not sure that is a problem or not. Does your motherboards manual explain that setting?

Im quite sure sure IGP is still functional whether or not you have a dGPU installed. Different mainboards deal with & provide options for the iGPU. The Z77 chipset allows both to work at once and ASrock also provides software to manage which drivers what and when!

What is the issue that makes you think your computer is not working right.
