Upgrade RAM-DDR2 (Problem)

[ramakanta]

My Friend's PC has model No. - HCL EZEEBEE MAX 4781 p4 506
Mother board name P4M800PRO-M
FSB 1066
AGP8X
ATA133
windows Xp SP3
it was previously installed 256MB of RAM DDR1 . Now he upgraded to 1Gb DDR2 RAM ( in DDR2 Slot, DDR1 removed from system ). but problem is system properties show 512MB of RAM . when search in internet(
*www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=574&MenuID=16&LanID=9 ), it supported 2Gb Memory . what's the problem , need help ???
thank you.

check if the motherboard is updated to the latest available bios version.

how to Bios updated,??? present bios version dated is 2005

The website of ecs looks to be down ATM so I will check the link later. Anyway, you can use cpu-z to determine the bios version of the motherboard [ post the cpu-z screenshot of CPU, memory, SPD and motherboard tabs here ]. Check on the manufacturers website if they have any updated bios version to offer.

Al, right the website is working now. Go to that link [ make sure it's the correct one based on your mobo rev. ]. Click on the download link, then click on bios. There you can download bios from 3 servers [ Global, Europe and china ]. As per the link you posted the latest bios info :

BIOS Name BIOS for P4M800PRO-M (PCB:1.x)
Version 070626 (2007/06/26 released)

Here are the possibilities :

1. Compatibility issue .. Try updating Bios.
2. Faulty Rma slot ... Try another ram slot.
3. Partially faulty ram module ... You have to RMA it then.
4. The contact pins of ram module can get dusty from time to time and dust can just stick with it ... Take an eraser and gently rub it on the contact pins to get the golden color back again. Then install the ram module.

finally tried 2,3 &4 option , still issued . but update BIOS. confusing ??? help .???

 

[topgear]

looks like a compatibility issues between motherboard and ram. A bios update may or may not fix it. About bios updating first download the package and as per ecs website :

*Please use the utility included in the package to flash the BIOS *

Assuming you have RMAed ram modules and got them replaced .. may I know the brand name ?
