there are my specs. I have just built the pc. I have removed and placed the ram multiple times and still get the same issue.
 
Hmm lets try testing those RAM:

- Link removed for suspected Malware content -
- Manofchalk

Download the above, and after wards, run it and in the memory button press ALL. what number do you see ? it should grab all the usable free memory and utilize it for benchmarking

Is that number less than 4 GB or more than 4 GB ?

is your windows 7 legit ?

Where did you find this column? Available OS Memory: 4046MB RAM? from what page ?
 



Thanks, but it was my bios that needed an update. Thanks for the help though
