Only 2,75GB RAM Usable, regardless of installed amount.
Hey there!
I am having some real trouble with my PC at work right now an i am at a total loss.
I slaughtered some old systems and tried to make one that isn't as abysmally bad as they all were for themselves. So, what i ended up with is this:

Only thing that is really, REALLY annoying is that no matter what i do, only 2,75 GB Ram are available. (3,25 GB when i installed an ATI Card. I thought it was the ATI Card, but the problem seems the same with the Nvidia card, just worse)
When i only have 1 2GB Stick installed, there is no Hardware reserved memory. But once i get to that magic 2,75GB, everything above is reserved no matter what i do. And i cannot seem to find anything that could be responsible.
The Board has an Onboard Graphics chip, but there is no option in the BIOS to deactivate it. (It's a Dell Board and it's really bad, there are basically no options at all in the bios. None that matter anyway)
With the ATI Card it was 2,8GB that was reserved, which is the exact amout that card could reserve via HyperMemory. So i obviously thought i had resolved the problem. I tried deactivating HyperMemory via ATi Tray Tools, but that didn't work.
I then put the Nvidia Card back in (Uninstalled the Driver, of course) and the problem got worse. Now i have only 2,75GB to work with.
If anyone has any idea what this could be, I'd be really greatful. This problem cost me a whole day already and i can't seem to figure it out.
Regards
