| 1159511 | 2010-12-07 01:01:00 | Is memory remap feature enabled in the BIOS? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

With a P5B you will need to enable Memory Remapping, in BIOS > Advanced > Chipset > Northbridge Chipset Configuration, as without it the northbridge memory controller will be hitting its maximum address ranges with a 1GB video card. |

| 1159514 | 2010-12-07 07:00:00 | Cheers - will have a look tomorrow (nights, tonight)! | Fishb8 (484) | ||
| 1159515 | 2010-12-08 00:44:00 | OK - went into BIOS and changed the memory controller, re-booted and found it was now showing only 2GB!! Still, It was some sort of progress. Googled and around that I needed to go to msconfig/boot/advanced options/ -uncheck the maximum memory box and reboot. Now showing as 4GB installed ram!!! Got it!! |

You have a bad Ram Dim, if your board supports it test one at a time, the bad Dim prob wont post by itself and will be unstable at best. Seen this before. |
