So this desk top I use has 512mb RAM.
It is about 5 years old now, and I just never got around to upgrading the RAM (It can support 2GBs of DDR)
I woke up early today to check some stuff (WoW related) and when I woke the comp up (I leave it on for updates and stuff) it was on a black screen telling me something was up with the RAM.
I hit F1 to boot normally, and then right clicked on My Comp, went to properties and sure enough it is telling my there is only 384mb RAM.
So uh . . . I don't know what to do to get it to recognize the rest (it is just 1 stick on RAM).
Not sure how long this has been an issue, but I got the error today.
I roll with XP sp3, and I did read that SP3 can mess up your RAM? But I know a few weeks ago it picked up the 512mb (as I was looking for possible upgrades to buy) and I was on Win XP sp3.
Any help? thanks.
