System Information Shows I Have 2Gb Ram, When I have 6GB
I have 6GB of Ram, But my System Information is telling me i have only 2GB? Dose this mean its only using 2GB/ 6Gb, or i need to activate another 4GB?
Thanks

As Lemur posted check what is showing in Bios on restart if Resource Monitor shows the same as you already posted.
Click Start Orb type in Resource monitor. Open it and click the Memory tab.
Will show memory at the bottom. Post a Snip if you have questions or aren't sure of something.
I'll find a link while you check out Resource Manager.
UNPLUG PC FIRST!
If Bios doesn't show them try reseating the Ram in the slots.
All three. There is a definite snap and the latch catches on its own on an ASUS motherboard. You hear no snap or the latch doesn't close on its own the ram isn't seated yet.
Experience taught me that. One wouldn't seat. I swapped slots and the sticks snapped right in.

We did it again.
Hopealong, What is the likeness of the ram or the ram slots being faulty? It is very good quality ram, and motherboard. I bought them all new and about 8 months old. Plenty of cooling in there too.
Thanks
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.
It does you will need to get your manual or download from ASUS.
It will show you how to get to the memory.
Go to the below link. Try the auto detect or curtains on right side.
It will then ask for OS then find your manual.

See if the Ram is shown in bios and let us know. If only showing 2Gig one stick then follow my post for reseating. Then recheck.
