Hi
I've just replaced the 2 512MB RAM Modules in my PC to 2 1024MB Modules.
But now apparently I only have 1GB of RAM According to system properties and dxdiag and Everest? I have checked the specs for my motherboard and yes it supports up to 2GB of RAM, and yes I have run 2 pass's of Windows Memory Diagnostic, which came back clear. If I load up Everest home edition it confirms I have a total of 1024MB RAM but also tells me there are 2 1GB RAM Modules installed.
Please Help
Motherboard Spec's http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=577&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=
Although there is also this Mobo, however I can find no difference, So I could have either one. http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=553&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=
System spec's are in sig. You may notice that I am using PC2700 RAM when the Mobo doc's do not state that type of ram is supported however when I purchased my computer from "TINY" it came with PC2700 Modules installed and I've never had a problem with previous modules.
Oh and one last point. After I installed the RAM and booted up for the first time with the bootable windows memory diag floopy in. After about 4 mins the computer shut off?, To turn back on I had to either flick the plug socket back off and on or the power supply switch. It then did the same thing again, but on the third try I was able to complete 2 passes of the memory diag, after which I booted in to windows and I now find that aparently I have 1GB of ram installed.
Would really appreciate some help with this.
Thanks in Advance
