i need help. (ram issue)

well i ran the mem test. it said that i would receive the results of it after i logged in again but i have received nothing so far.

A motherboard usually isn't compatible or not compatible with a 64-bit OS. The installed processor is what determines this. Fill in your system specs, and we can tell you for sure.

Check in BIOS setup to see how much RAM is being utlitized by your GPU as it might be the missing 1gb RAM.

I've asked for more help on this from someone who can recall how this is traced.

It should be compatible, but the easiest thing to do is just fill in your system specs in your profile.

i tried booting into the bios but for some reason it would not take me there. im pretty sure my bios key is like f 12. i was pushing down f4 and f2 also. just in case it wasnt. but it would not send me into the bios.
