Go to your BIOS and check how much ram is shared with the system!
Hi icore3
Welcome to Seven Forums :)
Could you fill your system specs?

OK, if this is what you people mean, here it is:

Is this a laptop?
Have you tried checking to make sure the ram is seated properly?
well, yea i tried that, but it wouldnt still show it as 1G, but why?
CPU-Z is showing 1GB
can you post your task manager with the performance tab?
IMO,check out at the POST screen if your memories are recognized. See if it says 1GB or 512MB. If at the POST screen says 512MB then clearly it's something hardware issue (or bios outdated version).
no, i didnt update any drivers recently, but my CPU power went of and it was making a alarm sound and then my bro fixed it with removing the ram and installing it again, is it because of this? anyways, screen shot time:
