it only detected 2 GB ? x_x any help pls
Hello. Yes you have 64 bit windows. The first thing that I have noticed is that you have high temperatures,so make sure that your fans are clean of dust. And now for your problem,follow first this tutorial and make sure that you have unchecked Maximum Memory. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...ndows-7-a.html
Also there may be some other problems,maybe some of your slots for the ram are broken,or you have dislocated some of the ram.
To make sure that your slots are working correctly follow this:
Download and install Everest and start it. There go into: Computer -> Summary and scroll to the bottom. There should be something like this DMI Total / Free Memory Sockets 2 / 1
This is mine,I have only one stick of ram 2GB.
I agree with Stalker. Follow his advice. Its likely that in installing the new drive you inadvertently unseated the 2 other RAM modules. Check that by CAREFULLY opening up the laptop and having a good look - don't forgt to earth yourself on soemthing metallic to discharge any static before touching the insides of the laptop.
