New RAM not showing up not being recognized XP

by punkmartyr . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

Computer:
Lenovo ThinkCentre M52 Series Type 8215

Win XP 32 bit OS

Installed 4 gig of DDR 2 ram (2 in each slot). Computer only recognizes 500 mb of ram.

Have tried a ton of things. Initially had problems; computer wouldn’t load windows. Took the ram out, put it back in. Computer recognized 3 of the 4 gig (understandable because its 32 bit). Computer wouldn’t go into windows again. Took it out put it back in. Computer only shows 500 mb in the system, but when I run crucial scan or everest they both show the 4 gig are in place even though system only using 500 mb. Have tried a lot of stuff; open to any suggestions.
