Missing Memory..?

[JousteR]

Upgraded my Pc last week and i cant for the life of me get it to find a 2 Gig stick of ram.
Piriform Speccy can see it as does CPUID..
But right click my computer and hit properties and that shows just 4 gigs.
I have googled till i can google no more and tried just about everything mentioned,reseating all ram and cpu,not overtightening the H/S screws..
Any help is and will be welcome..

Boot with every stick on its own, see if you've got a bad one.

you have 6 gigs if i remember correctly your pc can only see 4gigs (unless you go to win 7)

Vista Home Premium 32bit

If that is really the OS you are using, then it will only see a max of 4GB, you need a 64-bit OS. Vista or Win7 will work, and you can use your 32-bit key you already have to install the 64-bit version legally, the keys are universal.

Switch to x64 OS

Not updated my specs sorry chaps it does say at the top of speccy 64 bit 7..

have you tried refreshing or checking for hardware changes in the properties. The image you show in the OP has all 6GB visible.

Ok, did you try going to MSCONFIG -> Boot Tab -> Advanced Options and make sure the "Maximum Memory" box is unchecked?

You also might want to check to see what Resource monitor says you have.

There's a function in the bios as well, it's called memory remapping.

It had solved my identical problem.

I have looked for this feature but it dont seem to be on my specific Motherboard.

its there it might be in uncore config, nb config, ram config, cpu config. its there though you just have to look for it. on my old board it was in advance ram config but on my asus its in cpu features or something
