Memory Not Seen
Aug 15, 2005
There are 4 gigs of ram in this system. On boot, the BIOS shows 4gigs, but Windows only shows 3 gigs.It originally had WindowsXP 64 bit installed and Win64 showed all 4 gigs. The problem was some programs required didn't run on Win64.Moving the ram around from slot to slot doesn't help.Up to 3 gig it shows corectly but upon placing the 4th Dimm I still get 3 gigs reported in WIndows.I can re-install Windows easily since no data is on the machine yet.Memory settings are all at safe settings, not pushing any envelope here. With 4 Dimms it runs at DDR333.

I am trying to upgrade the RAM memory on my Gateway MX3230 notebook. It presently has 256 MB and I would like to upgrade to 1 GB. I have checked the Gateway website and and upgrade to 1 GB is acceptable. I purchased a memory module from Kingston which was listed as being compatible with my laptop. When I tried installing the module, the computer will not start, nothing but black screen. It's as thought there is no memory at all. I tried re-installing the module making sure it was inserted in as far as it will go, still no luck. There is no settings in bios that I can see that would prevent the acceptance of this module

I am using Intel pentium 4 cpu 2.40GHz, 1.25 GB RAM. Iam using 80 GB samsung hard disk.
I installed Microsoft Windows XP Professional service pack 2 on a drive of 10 GB memory space with NTFS file system.
After the installation of Win XP, the drive properties shows 4.9 GB of used memory and only 4.45 GB of free memory, but when I try to find total memory occupied for all the files in that drive (using "select-all" and properties) the used memory is only 2.3 GB only.
Now I don't understand the huge difference of this memories calculations. Where that extra used memory gone, when the total memory occupied by all the files is much less.

why my Windowx XP sees only 1024 MB memory while I've increased the original memory of 512 MB by 2x 512 MB ?My motherboard has three DDR-slots. It had from the beginning a Kingston K 512MB PC2700 module in slot #1. This week I've added two Kingston K512 UDIMM 512MB PC2700 modules in the slots #2 and #3.All three modules has the type name KVR333X64C25/512, so I thought they would be compatible.

I have a white box Pentium 4 CPU with XP professional service pack 2 build 2600 installed. The motherboard is an intel D865GLC with 512 MB RAM installed in Dual channel mode with 1 256 MB stick of ram in slot zero of bank 1 and 1 256 MB stick of ram in slot zero of bank 2. This memory is dual channel compatible. I tried to add another 2 sticks of the same type ram but from a different manufacturer.
Here's the problem: I can use any 2 of the 4 sticks of ram together, both from the same manufacturer or 1 from 1 manufacturer and 1 from the other for a total of 512 MB. Everything works fine. I can place one stick in slot 0 of bank 1 and the other in slot 0 of bank 2 or I can place 1 in slot 1 bank 1 and 1 in slot 1 of bank 2 with no problems. I can even place a 3rd stick of the same type ram in any open slot and all's fine (except the machine complains that this is not an optimal memory setup). Memtest86 reports no errors with any of the above configurations

I was running Outlook, AIM, and IE at the same. After a few moment, I'd get this following message:
Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your Virtual Memory Paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied.
When I hit OK, all my applications would close, except my Outlook. I'm running Win2K with 512 memory. My computer is only 1.5 years old. I didn't play any games or download anything so it's not heavily used. But why the message then?

I don't really have a problem on my hands, but I would like to ask a few questions relating to Virtual Memory and Memory Leak.
I downloaded a game back in December, but hasn't been installed as yet. I heard that it is created using "C++" or "C" (whatever it is), and I learned that it has a memory leak. My Virtual Memory was running low (it may already have beforehand) by the time the game was installed. My computer crashed two days later as a result.
But some users haven't experienced any problems with the game. My question is, is it a better idea for me to install the game on a CD-ROM or USB Drive and play it from that media type (instead of from the hard drive) so that I can protect my PC from crashing due to low virtual memory?

I have a Ecs P4vxasd Motherboard, Pga socket 423. The mainboard accomodates 2 DDR 184 pin 2.5v + 2 SDR 168 pin 3.3v Dimm sockets with a total capacity of
etting various blue screen errors, to go along with several reloads. I downloaded a memory diagnostic program from this site. My computer didn't pass the test, so I removed on stick and it passed this time. I assumed that the memory stick was my problem, and ordered a DDR 512 mb pc3200 stick from Curcial.com. I installed the new memory and got the same error from the diag. test. I began swapping memory around. all three sticks worked fine by themselves in either slot, but put two together & I would get a bad diag.

I keep getting the error message that my Windows virtual memory minimum is too low. I have Microsoft Windows 2000 and the following settings: total paging file size 205 MB; minimum 2 MB; Recommended 190 MB; Currently allocated 205 MB; current registry size 21 I'm not the system administrator so I can't change these numbers. I also couldn't find the pagefile.sys that someone suggested looking for. My IT guys don't know what's wrong; they reformatted my computer but I got this error message again. What should I tell them to do?

I have 3 memory slots on my motherboard. Two of them have 512MB DDR PC2700 chips. Can I put a 1GB chip in the third slot or would it have to be another 512MB chip?

I was just playing a game I bought recently, and after I got up to the second level, the models in the game weren't rendering properly, (some of the people were invisable etc), then it froze and gave me the following errors:
First error ~
Quote: Rendering thread exeption:
General protection fault!
History: Adress =0x98aeb8 (filename not found)
Adress =0x2 (filename not found) Second error ~
Quote: The instruction '0x009d8bd2' referenced memory at 0x0000001 the memory could not be "read" After these errors occurred, my desktop reverted to 6-bit color, and the lowest possible resolution, then wouldn't let me change it back.

I am running WinXP sp1 with 384 ram. I have a cable high speed connection, and also use AOL byoa (bring your own access). I've tried to do things to get more memory. I haven't had any error messages, but I only have 38% free space. My question is: How can I find out what is using all my memory. Can I do something to the virtual memory to increase my physical memory?

My computer is 2 years old and after adding many games for the grandkids my computer has started slowing down. I now have 512MB of memory would it speed up my computer to add memory? If so how much should I add and how do I do this? Is there a site that shows step by step instructions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand virtual memory. I keep getting a message that I'm too low on virtual memory. Is it something that corrects itself? Also, I can't get anything on the disc cleaner. I've followed directions, but it shows up on the taskbar and I can't get it to open. I have Windows XP.

I am trying to run a .exe file, but when i try to run it CMD pops up and then dissapears. Other than that, nothing happens. So, i tried using CMD to open the program, but then it says "Program too big to fit in memory". How can i fix this? I doubt that it's a RAM problem, the program is only 364 MB...
