under windows system info I see 4gb ram installed (1.99GB usable) first time i take each ram stick out one at a time, trying both the one and three dim slots each one worked fine, then i put them both in, bios and windows sees 4GB of ram, but 2 mins into running windows system crashes and boots with 2GB of ram. Did the swap again and one of the ram sticks will not boot up, but the other will boot up in both the 1 and 3 dimm slots. Memtest and bios will see both sticks in the slots when I look for them in the categories, but total memory is still 2GB and memtest will only test 2GB (passes btw). Read that a bent pin for the cpu could cause it, no bent pins that i can see.
memory installed memory=4GB but total memory=2GB

there's no onboard video and to reserve 2GB seems like a lot
after being off all night, my system posted 4gb in bios and windows this morning for 30 minutes before crashing to bsod and restarting agian with 2GB.

i read your specs, you can still reserve ram for video cache in the bios even for a pci-e card. but your issue sounds more like a bad slot/s

ok, likely on the disk.
can you post a pic of everything in task manager?
i just want to see if there is any HUGE memory hog but i still think its a hardware issue.
also check your event logs for signs of an issue right before it does the nasty.

I agree sounds more like an issue with the O.S/Driver or BIOS but we can try replacing the memory since you stated one of the modules by itself would not post the system.
Let's get them replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them.
