- Windows not Recognizing half of my RAM
Hi,
I have 2 Gigs of ram, on 2 1Gb sticks, however windows only recognizes one of them and I am stuck trying to run vista on 1 gigi of ram which is very frustrating. When I run the crucial.com memory scanner it finds both of my sticks of ram and lists them as DDR PC3200. When I run CPU-Z it only finds 1GB.
I am running Vista Business, my motherbord has 4 memory banks, my CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 4200+. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI with the nForce4 chipset. I am not very knowledgable about hardware so if theres other useful information I need to provide let me know. My computer was a present and is custom built for gaming so I don't know an easy way to describe the whole system.
If any can help me get my computer to recognize the second GB of ram I would be so grateful. Thanks
Tarath
