So my old rig has a Asus p5k mobo.
There are 4 ram slots on this mobo. I have always used 1 slot for my 2gb stick. I have another, identical stick of ram (they were bought together). When I decided to upgrade it, I checked the manual to see which slot to put ram in and installed the ram. It didn't seem to work at all. I have never changed or added ram before. I even brought the pc to a Profesional pc engineer (I think they're called engineers ). He ran somekind of a program om the pc before windows have turned on and it only detected 2 gb of ram instead of 4gb. I know that windows 32bit version (witch I have installed) only supports up to 3 gb of ram, but in computer properties it still shows 2 gb.
Also I have one more problem. I have trouble entering bios. The pc just won't listen and enter windows. Then I tried to open the pc and see if all the cables are fully connected and everything was good so I don't know what's up.
