Up the memory voltages in bios to 2.1V, that will deffo work.kingyjr

checked in bios, couldn't see anything obvious as to memory voltages, closest thing was DDR VCORE which allowed me to change the voltage ranging from 2.6 - 3.2. i changed it to 2.6 just to stay close to the value you suggested, plus the bios setting stated that anything over 2.9 there is a risk of damaging the cpu and memory modules.......anyway...that still didn't work....

when i tested the ram sticks in pairs, i used slots 1 and 3 and then 2 and 4. 2 x 1 worked with all 4. i just removed one 1 gig ram stick and bios was still showing only 2.5 gig.

i do have sp1 installed.

check that to.....i have a A8N32-SLI NFORCE4, checked two website's which have the spec and they both say max ram is 4 gig.

my machine has vista 64bit....that's why i'm confused. logically, everything should be detected fine...yet i'm here stuck in a pickle with 2.5gig

hi,

i recently installed some extra memory into my pc, i originally only had 2x 1 gig sticks in my machine. after adding the 2 new sticks, the system was only detected 2.5 gig. i did some research and found that it is sometimes just the OS, so first thing is to check that bios is detected the right amount.....so i did, even in bios it detects 2.5 gig

i thought it might be something to do with the new ram sticks i've purchased, so i removed the old ones, and just left the new ones in, the new ones are detected as 2 gig fine, did the same test, removed the new ones and just left the old ones in, again 2 gig. so all 4 sticks seem fine. as soon as i put in another 2 totally 4x 1 gig stick, bios just see's 2.5 gig.

i'm totally lost! not sure what to do, i've updated my bios, still not change.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

na, same OS. I just tried a a backup executable and it works fine, looks like it must be the DVD.

Cheers for pointing me in the right direction, I've been scratching my head for weeks.

The weird thing is, that it worked before fine, and just stopped working after a while. That's what's totally confused me.

I can't seem to run Just Cause. Whenever I try to run it, it closes by illegal operation (kernal32.dll error). I've tried reinstalling the game, same problem.

Anyone else had this problem? How do I get round this.......?

I've got a Viewsonic VX924. I've had trouble with the build of this monitor, for 2 years straight bug have got into the screen in the summer, so I've decided to get another one. I've been looking at Samsung SM-226BW with 2ms response time (which I read was a good thing).

Any suggestions, budget is £300 and max size of 22" min of 19".
