Download Speccy or CPUZ and see what its reporting your hardware as. It'll give you a more detailed account.

Looks like its not registering that memory. When you go in to BIOS, what does it tell you for total system memory? If it doesn't list the 3GB then reseat the memory and try again.

But in My computer its Showing 1.9 gb RAM.. WHY?

 

[Wayfall]

To avoid Ram problems you should really just have a set of RAM, like I have 2x4GB Vengeance RAM, throwing in different sizes and speeds of RAM are going to give you a lot of trouble.

 

[azaran]

ok so your system sees the 3 gigs according to the programs, which is good. It means the memory is being counted correctly somewhere. Do you have a video card or are you doing built in video?

Yeah matched sets would be useful, but thats not what we're working with here. Any advice on figuring out the problem for the OP?

Go into task manager and goto the "Performance" tab, then look under where it says "Physical Memory (MB)", look at what it say's, concentrate on the "Total" option, if it still doesn't say the right amount of memory then it's a config issue, in which case check that you have put the memory in the correct slots, make sure they are all secure and also if all of that fails then go and buy a pair of memory sticks that are compatible and that come's in a package like what Wayfall said.

It shows 2048 mbs .. Which means Just 2 GB is counted . I have inserted a 2 GB & 1 GB ram stick. when i check with speccy it shown 3072 GBs

It shows total physical as 1.99 GB while it should show 2.99 or 3 GB
