Answer #1
try reseating the other stick to a new slot maybe? Try two sticks at once, i.e you have 4 sticks A, B, C and D. Try each combo so A+B, then A+C, A+D, etc
Answer #2
It’s nothing Wrong…32 bit windows don’t make use of the full 4 GB…
Answer #3
Like said 32bit just wont take full capabilities of the ram because it will not support it. Make the switch to 64bit you wont regret it.
Answer #4
It's nothing Wrong...32 bit windows don't make use of the full 4 GB...
This is correct. If you using 32 bit it support up to 3.x GB only.
Answer #5
how come my bios says 3gb??
Answer #6
Well it does depend. Maybe a faulty slot if its a 64bit OS. If its 32bit then its reasonable depending on the VRAM as well
Answer #7
I have 6 GB…But look at the image bellow:

Answer #8
yeah i know that but my bios says 3gb when it should say 4gb installed
Answer #9
If it’s 2×2 dual channel kit then there’s something pretty wrong there. If it’s a 4×1 kit then it either is a bad slot or the stick itself doesn’t work. It should get detected fully in the BIOS always. What’s the motherboard and type of RAM you got?

maybe there is, the BIOS doesnt interface much with the OS and therefore, should read all the sticks. Try my suggestion above firstly with the A’s & B’s
