RAM degraded.... !!!!

[pritzdj]

Hi All,
I am using a AMD Athlon machine (512 MB RAM, ASUS Motherboard)......... couple of days ago my 512 MB of RAM suddenly showing 384 MB of RAM...... Previously i thought that my OS (Win XP Pro [Original]) giving those creepy Hardware Config...... but i formated and reinstalled it again but no use...... Then i Checked in the BIOS, but Showing the Same Value for my RAM (384 MB)....... and my PC performance also goes down........

Please Help me out.........

Hey any chance the remaining 128 is being used by your graphics system?
If not try removing and reseating the Ram stick.
And is it one 512 stick or 2x256?

i think the if ur using 2x256 sticks one of them may have a problem. but if ur using a single then may be its the graphics. cant tell for sure

Try using individually,one at a time and see whether both report 256 individually.
