Help with a computer issue
Right, kids computer keeps freezing regular, been having a look, and Windows Vista keeps reporting the wrong amount of memory, over calculating by at least 200%. I have tried three memory sticks, all have similar issue's.
Now, is it a corrupt Vista instal, or a mobo faulty? MSI K8MM3-V AMD Sempron 2800+

does the memory show up as the right amount in the bios? if so id probably hazard a guess at a dodgy install. im not that farmiliar with windows anymore but it may also be possible to set a memory lock on the system to limit vista to use just the amount of memory you have

in the Bios memory check at POST, it registers correctly, unfortunately, the MSI BIOS isn't particularly helpful.

Try disabling the page file or reduce it to about 500MB.

that could be an idea if vistas confusing virtual memory and actual ram if theres more than 2 gig ram id disable virtual memory on all drives aswell as disable indexing (only really effects desktop search and can improve boot time)

I did have two sticks of 512 in there, tried all combinations of the three I got here, got one 512 of Kingston in there as Vista only see's it as 1gb, at one point, vista reported 8gb on one stick.
