ArcaOS DVD and bootable USB stick available

<< < (10/12) > >>

Andreas Schnellbacher:
Yes. In my case, Memtest-86 showed 7109 MB and gnome-system-monitor of Linux Mint 17, 32 bit reports 6.8 MiB, with 8 GiB installed. (I had no installed Win32 OS available to check this.) Values like that seem to be normal.

Hi All

Having noticed that ArcaOS and Windows7 both report only about 2Gb physical RAM installed I just ran memtest (v4) which also shows almost 2GB (2004Mb).

Mainboard BIOS shows 2 x 2Gb RAM chips and does not indicate a problem.

I guess I need to replace 1 of the 2Gb RAM chips but how do I tell which 1 on a dual channel system? - is it simply a case of suck it and see?

Pete

Dave Yeo:
You could start by testing with one stick, and then the other. Most dual channel systems should revert to single channel with a loss of performance.
It does seem weird that one stick just doesn't seem to work once booted. The one time I had a stick fail, the system crashed and I lucked out as the first stick I removed (out of 4 512 MB sticks) fixed the issue.

Pete:
Hi Dave

Tried testing with only 1 stick installed - system does not start at all, goes into a trying to start routine after power on but does not get anywhere with either stick. Seems the mainboard needs 2 sticks installed...


Regards

Pete

Hi Ivan
I understand that you have the virtualaddresslimit of the config.sys in 3072, and it will work fine for you. But could you do the test to put 3760, and tell us if it works, or if at startup it tells you that you have an erroneous value and puts it by default.?
