Well,since no 1 here had an answere for me,I got off my ass and figured out the problem myself!

It seems that the boot maximum memory box in advanced boot settings was ticked and the max it would go to was 2556.Unticked it,rebooted and now I have 4093Mb again! Ha!

Thanks alot guys/gals.

If I'm not mistaken,I think I saw some1 on here with the same problem a few days ago.What I can't understand is why the mamimum amount of boot memory alowed would be 2556Mb with 4Gb installed

Did you ever touch that setting before? It should always be defaulted to maximum amount.

Sorry for taking so long but yah ducky.I saw some 1s guide on here awhile back and it said to tick the boxes for memory and cores and set them as high as they go.I still don't know why it will not allow all for 4 gigs,but it's ok,I got it back and will leave it alone now.
