    I hope this all helps with diagnosing whatever is causing this problem.
    Could it be my GFX card? Having said that, my GFX card did not take any RAM away when i was using WinXP professional sp3.

    ps. i got all this info by copy pasting VIA Belarc Advisor.

    are u using x2 512 ram or 1x 1024
    u need to check if ur ram is compatible or not : if u got a SDR spot , ur DDR wont work

    Check if its SDR or DDR , DDR 2 , DDR 3 ....
