• Windows 7 x 64 shows less memory than installed

  Hello

  I have a Dell Dimension 5150 with Windows 7 x 64 and 4 GB (2x2gb) RAM. But Windows 7 is said under properties I have a 2.5 GB of RAM. (He does NOT like in other posts 4 GB (2.5 GB usable)).  Where is used the rest?  I used the (3.5 GB) together with XP x 86.

  Thank you

  Hi Markus,.

  This problem could occur due to these reasons.

  1. The devices that are installed in the computer and the memory reserved by these devices.
  2. The ability of the motherboard to manage memory.
  3. The version of the BIOS of the system and the parameters.
  4. The version of Windows 7 that is installed (for example, Windows 7 Starter Edition does support 2 GB of memory installed.)
  5. Other system settings.

  I suggest you to return the item and check if it helps.

  Usable memory may be less than the memory installed on Windows 7 computers
  

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee
  that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk. Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

• 64 bit computer 8 GB of RAM but windows shows only usable 3.25

  OK, I got the original 6GB (3x2gb) RAM (1600), installed on a MSI 880GM-E43 motherboard and a Phenom II X 4 (I think either 3.6 or 4.0 Ghz) and windows all read well. I buy a new motherboard Gigabyte 970 a - UD3 and another key to 2 GB RAM and install. Now when I go to windows, it says properties

  "Memory (live RAM) installed: 8.00 GB (3.25 GB usable). So firstly that I went into the BIOS to check if it shows the correct information and he did. Then I changed my CPU speed clocked 3.4 to 4.0 Ghz. I loaded windows and he always says the same thing "memory (RAM) installed: 8.00 (3.25 GB usable)" and now, the processor has not changed either "processor: AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 965 3.40 GHz processor". " I even reinstalled the new drivers and it still shows the same info.
  CAN ANYONE HELP!
  Specifications of the computer:
  Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit
  AMD Phenom II X 4 - 4.0GHz
  Kingston HyperX Blu 8 GB (4x2Go)
  Gigabyte a 970 - UD3
  VisionTek Radeon HD 5750

  Strangely, even if the memory is entered correctly, it stil reports way less. Don't know why but files seems to correct the problem...

  No doubt you are overclocking... 'Properties' always reports the chip actually, not the speed it is running at a time. Was it to do, it is time when your chip would show at 800 mhz... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... :-)

• 4 GB Ram installed but showing GB usable 2.49

  I need more ram to run an application that I have G32 HP windows 7 86 X enterprise edition with 2 GB of ram later I upgraded RAM with 2 GB more, in the BIOS it shows 4 GB but in the computer shows GB 2.49 usable properties,

  Troubleshooting I've done so far

  Changed the setting in msconfig and checked on optimize ram, change parameters with the processors, but nothing is

  Please suggest

  The amount, he can use isn't always 3.2 GB. It varies depending on what

  you have the hardware.

  All versions of Windows 32-bit client (XP/Vista/7 not only) have a 4GB

  address space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the

  theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.

  But you can't use the whole address space. Even if you have a

  4 GB address space, you can use about 3. 1 GB of RAM. It's

  because some of the space is used by the hardware and is not available for

  operating system and applications. The amount you can use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can

  range from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around

  3. 1 GB.

  Note that the hardware is using the address space, not the real

  The RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM

  goes unused because there is no address to map space to.

• RAM INSTALLED BUT NOT START THE COMPUTER

  MR. PRESIDENT IS RESPECTED,

  I HAVE G6-2312AX HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK COMPUTER. WINDOWS 8 IS INSTALLED IN. 4 GB OF RAM ALREADY THERE. NOW, I WANT TO ADD 4 GB MORE. I BOUGHT 4 GB OF RAM DDR3 1600 MHZ AND TRIED TO INSTALL IT. BUT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT. KINDLY TELL WHAT TO DO. JAI HIND

  It seems that if you did not put in a pair of identical bars or has not used the memry guaranteed compatible modules. You cannot use the module that was already there, unless you add is identical in every respect.

  Use only guarantee modules in identical pairs if you want your upgrade memory to work right the first time.

• Win2k3 x 32 Enterprise can use 4 GB of RAM on Xeon / Opteron with 16 GB of RAM installed

  Hello

  I installed a Windows Business Server x 32 on ESX 2.5 on an Opteron Dual Core System. The virtual machine has 8 GB of RAM.

  It must be converted into ESX 3.x (all Versions) and migrate to CPU Xeon (Quad Core). The virtual host Xeon machine, see only 4 GB of RAM on the Task Manager. Migration to host Opteron with ESX 3.5 and I can take 16 GB of RAM. VMWare Infrastructure Client shows the total RAM (8 / 16GB)

  Remove the virtual computer and only use the drive hard have no change on the RAM. I see only 4 GB on Xeon system.

  You have an idea?

  Thank you very much

  Patric

  Hello

  I have to assume that you use the physical address Extension (PAE) to access memory outside the limit of 4 GB. To ensure that the 2003 Enterprise Edition as a Standard Edition version see only 4 GB.

  Check the boot.ini for the PAE parameter If it is not present then use the BCDEdit/set tool to allow it. For more details, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa906211.aspx

  Change of type of CPU is a possible reason for the deletion of option EAP, I suspect that this could be a problem because allow EAP must also the other interdependancies of CPU hardware that can cause stability problems if the OS is expecting a specific set of features CPU.

  It doesn't matter that I expect that allow EAP with the BCDEdit tool will probably fix the issue.

  Good luck.

  Kind regards

• Weird! U350 + Win7 - shows less (2.84 GB) of memory can be used with 4 GB with 3 GB?

  Hello

  
  

  I have an Ideapad U350, which came with Windows 7 32-bit and 3 GB of memory.

  
  

  Just wanted to extend the RAM so I installed a new 2 GB instead of 1 GB of RAM. Previously, Windows 7 displays "3 installed and 2.87 GB usable" but now it shows "4 GB installed and 2.84 GB usable".

  
  

  Now, I know that Windows 7 32 bit usually won't show anything under 4 GB if 4 GB is installed, but I was really surprised to see that when I got the 2x2gb memory installed, Windows 7 has shown 2.84 GB!

  
  

  In other words, Windows 7 32-bit shows less memory can be used when the memory of 4 GB (2x2gb) is installed, only when the / 3GB (2 GB + 1 GB) memory is installed...

  
  

  I'm a little puzzled about this. Just to be clear, as I said above, I * KNOW * that with Win7 32 bit, it does not show all of the 4 GB, but I expected something like 3 + can be used with the 4 GB GB, not<>

  
  

  Can is anyone here explain why this is happening?

  Thank you

• Re: Satellite Pro L300D - 11O 800 MHz RAM installed, only to 667 MHz

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300D-11O, which has a single stick of 1 GB 800 MHz RAM installed. However this RAM work only at 667 MHz. I checked this in Linux and Windows Vista.

  The laptop is announced as to have 800 MHz RAM on this page:

  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook ie = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055796

  The manual of the user who wrote:

  "PC2-6400 memory module works as PC2-5300 speed the GL40 Express Chipset Express chipset/GL965"

  I don't know what chipset I have, and it would be surprised that this would be the case that the above Web site explicitly states RAM 800 MHz.

  Can someone tell me please?

  Hello!

  Now I'm a bit confused of Mr. I think you did search in the wrong user's manual because the Satellite L300D has no Intel chipset.
  On the Toshiba site, you can download the manual for Satellite L300D:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online download user manual

  I think that your chipset only supports 667 MHz. normally the RAM always works on the highest speed that is supported by the chipset.
  Check the specifications with Everest or PC Wizard 2008.

  Good bye

• I got a call from a woman who told me she was from microsoft and my computer shows signs of malware

  I got a call from a woman who told me she was from microsoft and my computer shows signs of malware, then let him check my computer remotely, he appeared on my screen that I had 39000 flaws and they would now clear them for free, then, she told me that I need an internet security shield to stop what is happening again at a cost of £189.00 a one-time payment. I told him I didn't have the money and after some time, she put a guy on the line to convince me that I should buy this article, I told him I wasn't happy to transfer money to a stranger and I thought it was a scam and hung up. I noticed that they had installed a program called Advanced SystemCare3, which I've uninstalled it. Now, I'm worried that they can hack into my computer and find the personal information.

  Is this possible?

  It is a scam. See:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  If they have access to your PC, they can install any number of malicious programs, as well as you have uninstalled. My recommendation is to do a clean reinstall of Windows - it's the only way to be sure that your system is clean.

  All the data on your computer (passwords, credit card numbers, numbers of account documents, etc.) may have been compromised (they may not know now). According to the companies concerned (for example your bank) what happened.

  Use another PC to change passwords.

  Consider telling your local police.

  Microsoft will never call you unless you request them.

• Computer guard asks me to install KB2572073 although I did several times.

  Original title: help me please.

  My computer always tells me to install KB2572073. I installed more 8 times now and even after that my computer is shut down and start back up, I'm always prompt to install it. What is going on??? Also, I run XP. Thanks for any help that you can offer me, today it gets on my last nerve. I can't stop. I ran spybot, I ran AVG, same defender said that my computer is running normal. She made stupid junk since an update of windows about 2 weeks when I suddenly lost my ability to do system restore and go in standby mode.

  This problem was also trying to update stopped, download manually updating etc.

  Only thing that WORKED was uninstall .net (I used http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx but you might try Control Panel).

  Then re-install (I used Windowsupdate, to re - install .net 3.5 SP1 - optional upgrades) - you could download it manually, but I hope in this way, it could include a roundup update - no luck!

  9 more required updates, 45 minutes from blowing away and finally, an update more appeared, well, then everything was peaceful, without occasions!

• My computer shows several instances of xpsp2res.dll module in System 32.

  My computer shows several instances of xpsp2res.dll module in System 32.  I found them using Norton Systemworks process Viewer.  They look identical.  Is it a kind of duplication should I eliminate?

  I think that the Microsoft Support Engineer gives you just a bunch of things to try that neither explain the 'problem' or won't help you at all.

  Depending on your installation, you can have several copies of xpsp2res.dll on your system and you should have one in your system32 folder, in the dllcache folder and perhaps many others (I'm 27) in the folder system32 on various issues under the MUI folder and different down there.  You can't have two files with the same name in the system32 folder.

  The MUI folder means "MUI" and the file contains messages XP and icons and files contain specific language XP messages.

  If you use the built in Windows search, you'll probably find a lot.  Each of them a click right, choose Properties and look at the Version and then the language.  If you are configured for English, the one in system32 should say English and others in the various MUI files will show another language in the properties/language (German, Russian, etc.).

  You will also find that you can have dozens of file xpsp1res.dll (for Service Pack 1) and dozens of files for the Service Pack 3 xpsp3res.dll, you can even have a xpsp4res.dll file in your system32 folder (even if there is no SP4 yet).

  Depends on your installation, which we know nothing since MS Answers is no problem for any information system when a new question is asked.

  I really don't see how Microsoft Support engineer 'tips' to run Disk Cleanup or the Microsoft Safety Scanner will help you at all.  It isn't even a good guess, but it has links to the KB articles.

  If you think that your system may be compromised by malicious software, I could do this:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
