I'm posting yet again, for which I apologise.
The notebook that I am intending on replacing decided to sulk and developed a fault.
The system is only seeing half the memory that it has got.
It's a Hitachi notebook, running Windows 2000 SP2, with 256 MB memory (128 MB in each slot). It was OK till yesterday, and I have not made any changes to the system since yesterday. However it is only seeing 128 MB of memory.
My initial reaction was to assume that one of the memory boards has died. So I took one out, turned the system on, and it came up with 64 MB of memory. Huh?? So I put it back in, and took the other one out. Turned the system on, and again it came up with 64 MB of memory. The same thing happened when I changed the slot.
What could it be? Any comments and suggestions welcome.
