Title: ram problem!!!

I don't think you have a Ram problem, you probably have Shared memory with video

Do the following
Go to START>>RUN>>type in dxdiag
Hit OK

Let this load, under the System tab, how much Memory does it report installed under System Information?

Then click the Display tab, how much Approx. total memory does it report?

Just for cleanup in your hijackthis log
Do a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

If you didn't intentionally set the next one in your trusted zones of IE, tick it also

After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows

Title: ram problem!!!
Post by: guestolo on June 18, 2007, 07:50:36 AM

Did you add in the Nvidia Geforce card after you purchased the system
It states you have 256mb card installed

Your 446mb ram: I'll assume should read 448mb, but close enough
The integrated onboard graphics on the motherboard was probably using 64mb shared
bringing it to 512
I'll also assume you added in the Nvidia card, is that right?
Did you disable the onboard graphics in the bios?

Post by: lordlazer on June 18, 2007, 07:55:09 AM

i havent changed anything since i bought the computer but it was a refurbished computer. if it was added how do i disable the onboard graphics? i think the nvidia is an integrated one...so there are no problems? can i make it so it says 512 ram? i need 512 to meet minimum requirments for a game i play...it plays under it just not as well...

Title: ram problem!!!
Post by: JB Lee on June 18, 2007, 07:58:27 AM

if you really want to enjoy a game...you shouldnt be wanting to get 512mb anyway...

even 1 gb is too small with most advanced games...

Can you give me the Exact make and model of the computer
Let's track down other specs...
The model in the screenshot you took gives no info

Post by: lordlazer on June 18, 2007, 08:03:05 AM

i dont know much about computers but it says compaq presario SR2013WM on the front of it...if thats not it could you please tell me how to find out?

Post by: guestolo on June 18, 2007, 08:32:00 AM

You can still double check in the bios the default frame buffer size is set at
It could still be sharing system memory, but for gaming you don't want to set to low

Here's some info on your board
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...335&lang=en (http://\"http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757470&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3300335&lang=en\")

Appears you can go to a max of 2GB memory

See if the bios is reading the Ram correctly
