Solve : memory card not recognised?

1.	Solve : memory card not recognised?
Answer» i do not know to much about comp but i have to ask question... when i start my PC it says 256MB memory but i installed 1.00 GB... do i need to do some extra stuff...reprogram or ? please help... SORRY for my bad language... The memory (RAM) should be detected automatically. Chances are it is the not compatible. Please post what kind of computer or motherboard you have and what kind of RAM you have have installed (DDR, DDR2, PC100, PC3200, ETC.) If it is the right type and speed it may just need to be reseated. Make sure the plastic clips are all in the the upright position. Might also want to try a different RAM slot. Good luck! does windows XP show you the right amount of memory for what you installed? go to the start menu --> click run --> in the run box, type winver then SEE the number next to "Physical Memory Available to Windows"... does that number make sense? Should be close if not same as what you expect your amount of memory to be. On my computer, I have physically 2.5gb of memory, computer reads it as 2.88gb, no big deal...Quote from: 2x3i5x on August 11, 2009, 11:51:25 PM On my computer, I have physically 2.5gb of memory, computer reads it as 2.88gb, no big deal... 2GB is 2,684,354,560 bytes... Yeah I just REPORTED what windows vista said, I didn't actually check the math, Windows says I have 2.75GB of ram in the Windows Experience Ratings section. And in the "Winver" panel, it says I have 2881356kb of physical memory available to windows. And even CPU-Z says I have a grand total of 2816 MBytes of ram currently. I have three 512mb ram sticks and one 1gb ram stick in my system at the moment ....which dimm slot is the card installed in. you should try to install it in dimm1 which is read first . the PROBLEM might be dimm2 slot that has gone bad on the motherboard.The largest capacity RAM chip should always go in the slot closest to the CPU... At least that's what experience has taught me... Of course there's always the variable of mis-matched RAM chips which i suspect is the true issue here...maybe some brands don't like each other, have seen that happen before too Also note that if you do not have a graphics card that the system is probably using onboard (otherwise referred to as integrated) video which is utilizing a portion of the memory.

go to the start menu --> click run --> in the run box, type winver

then SEE the number next to "Physical Memory Available to Windows"... does that number make sense? Should be close if not same as what you expect your amount of memory to be.
