Oct 21, 2006For the past few weeks, windows has been only recognizing half (256mb) of my total 512mb of ram. Something that makes this problem even more peculiar is that third party tools such as cpu-z and speedfan see the full 512mb, but the system properties and dxdiag both say 256mb. The bios also says 512mb, dual channel mode. I can also make any information about this system that anyone needs to help me with this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedRAM Recognizing Half Of Original
Oct 16, 2006So installed WinXP Pro on my 3 month old HP pavillion personal computer and I am having an issue with the ram Apparently windows is only recognizing half of it.Here are some of the most pertinent details: AMD Turion64 ML-34,Radeon Xpress 200m w/128 MB on the video card.There are 512 MB installed DDR, Dual Channel.The bios is recognizing all 512 of the ram, but windows properties only shows 256.dxdiag also shows 256, but CPU-Z shows all 512.Does anyone have any idea whats going on? Has anyone actually experienced this phenomenon? I don't know if this is just a reading error, causing no performance difference, but I think I can feel the difference, but since its pretty new and the operating system has only been installed for about 2 weeks, I haven't gotten to get a good feel of what its supposed to be. I have also noticed in the past couple days that it takes a very long time to boot.

Jan 10, 2007I have been trying to play a DVD for the last hour and a half. VLC Media player plays the dvd, but only half of the audio is played.If anyone knows how to fix that, then that would be great.Also if I try using Media Player Classic then it plays choppy/slowed down video and audio.I also tried AVS Media player, but that would start to load the video and stop at 3% and never get any farther.I am not sure how that program works, but it seemed like it was trying to rip the dvd and then play it or something.

Feb 22, 2007I am trying to install two different programs, but there's a problem. I am encountering windows or panels (or whatever you call them) that are cut off on the right side. I can only see half the window, so I cannot click the "next" buttons to continue the installation. It's like someone took an x-acto knife and sliced off the right half of the window. I also have this problem with my HP Printer Toolbox. I thought that maybe I had uninstalled a critical system font, but all the system fonts are there, except for Modern MS Sans Serif, which I can't find anywhere.

Jun 30, 2008My friends XP crashed so I leant them my recovery disc (my old pc had XP this one has vista), when the xp recovery disc didn't work for them, they used my Acer Vista one which has half or more loaded vista and stalled probably because the lap top is to old to handle it. Anyway there is a blue Acer loading screen doing nothing and the vista programs run behind it which makes it difficult to see what you're doing. They brought it around to me as I can use this pc to see what I'm doing and try and fix there's more or less by feel, if that makes sense. They tried reinstalling my xp disc but vista seems to super seed it and it wont take, which doesn't surprise me.

Laptop Slows Over Time - CPU Running About Half Capacity?
Nov 18, 2007here's what's up - after about 10 minutes of being on the computer it slows down significantly, particularly web browsing. i usually notice the problem when using firefox 2.0 to check out videos on Internet. after watching 2 or so videos, the videos become very choppy and the system starts coming to a halt. checking out the task manager - i find that the cpu hits 100% during these episodes and per the processes the cpu is being gobbled up by firefox. a similar thing happens when i run itunes.
i installed a browser to monitor cpu speed/temp etc. i found that i have tons of ram available (at least 600 mb) even during the slow periods. i also found that the cpu temp is pretty reasonable (53 c) but then i found that my cpu is running at 600 mhz (most of the time, irregardless if plugged in or not). i can't seem to make my system run at full cpu capacity and am not sure why or if this has anything to do with my problem.

Checking Filesystem On C
Aug 22, 2007
1) Built a new computer in Oct/Nov 2006. Had been "out of the loop" in terms of computer know how, as the computer I was using at the time was going on about 6 or 7 years old. Originally I had a problem and couldn't get the computer to POST or start up, but it was because I purchased Brand X memory that wasn't "compatible" or recommended with the MOBO (never heard of a situation like this before. Always though Ram was Ram was Ram... learned my lesson.)
2) Computer runs like a dream for about 7 months. It is now around late May/June 2007. I turn the computer on and sit down on the chair and start to get comfortable. To my horror the computer enters this strange "safe mode" blue colored screen and is running some sort of check. It goes by real quick and I don't have time to read it. The computer goes past it and does not load and begins a reboot cycle.
3) Fastfoward a month and three or four full formats of the Hdd and reloads of WinXP. After each load the computer would work for a random amount of time then the same problem would occur. Repairing WinXP did nothing. Eventually I went to format the Hdd again and I started getting messages saying the formatting could not complete and the hdd could not be accessed. Figured it was a bad hdd, got it RMA'd and in the mean time purchased another one.
4) July 2007. Load new hdd into case, load WinXP. Computer runs like a dream. I love it. Runs Bf2142 flawlessly with all graphics on high... blah blah whatever the kids say these days to brag about how fast their computers are.
5) August 21st, 2007 around 11:30pm. I get home from my night shift job. Plop down and fire up the computer. The past three or four times I've started up the computer it has loaded.... "oddly". Basically the Windows load screen (blue scrolly bar, is that the technical term for it? ) would come up and then a blank screen would be up for an extended period of time (30, 40 seconds maybe? Long enough to notice. Short enough that if thats all thats going to happen I can live with it). But this time no... I get that blue "Safe Mode" looking screen. This time its slower and I can write down whats on it. Here is what it said:
Description: A dark blue banner with a safe mode looking WinXP logo with the the Windows Logo (you know, the actual WINDOW) all in the color white. Below this banner area some text:
Checking Filesystem on C:
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)
- File Verification (1 or 3)
- Index Verification (2 of 3)
- Security Verification (3 of 3)
and then when those three were complete it spewed a bunch of text real quick and the screen flashed (so I could not only A read it or B even look at it really), the computer reboots and loads, albeit with that slow, lagged black screen between Blue Scrolly and Desktop.
Obviously there must be a deeper problem with the computer if this is happening again with a second, completely unique hdd. There is no way I am getting two "bad" hdd... i mean, I've never really even gotten one before ever. Does anyone have any possible insight as to what could be going on here? Please help

Error Checking On HD ...
Aug 9, 2005my computer was running slow so I thought that if I ran the error-check and automatically fix options I might work better. I checked both boxes and clicked start and it said that id would check and fix the errors the next time I'd restart my computer. Now everytime I turn on my computer it aks me which OS I wanna run (Windows xp home or windows xp home (bootscreen)). I want this to stop, as it really annoys me to wait some extra time every time I turn my computer on, I already tried to uncheck the boxes (Local drive C: Tools) but they were already unchecked. The OS question continues to occur whenever I restart or turn the computer on. How do I fix this?

any suggestion?
Checking FSB Speed
Feb 24, 2005Is there a way in XP, or in BIOS on a computer running XP, to check the actual FSB speed? Is it indicated in BIOS? I have a vague memory of checking it once but I can't remember if I checked it on the machine or just read the number in the manual.
If BIOS, or another source on the machine, tells you an FSB speed, is that the actual current clocked speed, or is that some kind of factory standard number that the MoBo provides as a spec?
I'm having some confusion as to what my actual FSB speed is. The manual says it's 400 on some Dimension 2400 machines but 266 on mine, but I swear I read XP or BIOS telling me it was 400. If there's a way to check directly I'd like to do that.
Checking Components On XP
May 4, 2006i have new laptop and it has Windows XP installed, I'd like to check the processor size, hard drive size, memory and other components to make sure I've got what I've paid for.
I've always used Windows 98SE in the past so could some kind person talk me through the procedure for XP.
It would also help if you could advise the main changes to watch out for using XP.
Checking For Downloaded Programs
Jan 8, 2006I recently downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver; a 30-day trial. I worked on it a little, then left it alone for a couple of days. Now, when i try to find it, I can't. Searches turn up file folders of several types, but nothing that will allow me to run the program.
Where is it???!!! Why won't a search turn up something...an .EXE file or whatever, that will allow me to access the program. It's hiding somewhere and I can't figure out how to find it. it's far from the thirty days...maybe 10, if that.
Trying to download it again from the site doesn't work; they say that my email is already in use, so they are preventing me from downloading it again. I know I can try to contact them next week, but does anybody have a clue on this?
