64 bit windows is detecting only 2gb of the 4gb ram installed

[abu46]

Hi guys,

i have 2x2gb corsair make ram sticks installed on my 64bit windows pc

but since yesterday windows is only detecting 2gbs of ram, while the bios and sw like rammon detect 4gb installed

have tried resetting bios by jumpers but sometimes windows says 2gb, 2.96gb usable and sometimes detects full 4gb ram!!!!!

Abu mate might be worth running a memtest - takes a long time http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

you will need to make a bootable disk and set the BIOS to boot from the optical and let the test run for at least 8 passes unless it finds errors very quickly.

+1 ICit2lol. Running it overnight is a good method.

Absolutely mate the only exception is if I get errors straight away it makes life so much easier eh?
