Hi,
I just purchased an additional 2GB of RAM, bringing my total to 4GB.
When turning on the PC, during the black BIOS boot up information, I notice it's reporting just under 3GB of RAM - instead of the 4GB.
When looking in Windows 7 64 bit, it shows just 2.86GB of installed memory.
The only place where I can see 4GB is in the blue BIOS set-up page where it correctly reports 4 x 1GB slots.
How can I get Windows 7 and the boot-up page to see the 4GB? Any idea why the POST screen at boot-up shows just under 3GB when the BIOS setup page actually sees it all?
Any ideas?
