Enable the memory test on startup, and watch what memory is reported by bios. Usually when memory 'disappears', bios has had trouble recognising it. If you find that the memory has returned, you could try speeding up the access again to see where it fails. Normally you should be able to set the memory parameters to set by 'SPD', and it should work OK. If it is still flakey, try removing the memory modules and re-inserting them.	Guest (0)
