System Information Shows I Have 2Gb Ram, When I have 6GB

If you have Run on the start menu, clik it and type msconfig in the box, clik ok. In the System configuration window that comes up, choose the boot tab at the top, clik the advanced button in the mid portion of the window. set the number of cores to max and the memory to the max onboard. After a reboot, check the box that pops up 'Do not show this blahblahblah' and Ok. You should see all of your ram in specs now.

I did this, and nothing happened.

Yes, it originally was unchecked, i checked the box and tried it then unchecked the box and tried it

You should uncheck those options....Those are only for disabling hardware for testing and debugging.

As above, as default, they were unchecked.

I agree with logicearth.


This is how we showed everybody in the past.

As i've mentioned above.

Found nothing in the tutorials.

I'm not sure why Windows isn't showing it.

By any chance have you run the WEI on your PC yet?

Yes, i have ran the WEI. I scored 5.1 :S, because of low ram. I used to score around the 9 mark iirc.

I'll have a google search why ram isn't showing in window's 7.

Thanks

I had this same problem when building my pc. (see my specs). I tried replacing my motherboard then replacing the memory for different brand. After setting the correct memory setting for the new memory brand; I had 6 gigs showing. I would try new memory and set the correct setting in bios.

Have you looked in your BIOS for re-mapping options? Also, a WEI of 9 is impossible! The max is 7.9

Oh really? Sorry.. I must had got carried away lol.

I am not buying new memory. There is nothing wrong with it if CPUz says i have 6GB installed. Its obviously a software (MSW7) fault. The memory alone was around $80 each stick of 2GB iirc.

Thanks

Boot into your Bios.

Choose DEFAULT SETTINGS
Save and EXit.
