All,

I am having an issue with my Lenovo T43 Thinkpad recognizing memory.

I have 2048MB (2G) of memory installed (2x 1024 modules) and if I do a CPU-Z is shows as dual, but only 1024 is being used.

I just noticed that it started doing this.

I have booted the laptop with both modules in the slot under the keyboard and nothing in the other slot, on the bottom.

I have also booted it the other way, with modules in the slot on the bottom and nothing in the slot under the keyboard. All boots were successful.

If I go to "My Computer" properties it shows as only 1024MB of memory. I go to the bios and it shows that 2048 are installed.

Belarc shows two memory modules installed:

1024 Megabytes Installed Memory

Slot 'DIMM 1' has 1024 MB
Slot 'DIMM 2' has 1024 MB

Does anybody have any ideas why this is occurring?

Thanks,

-Todd

Hi Todd,

I must apologize I do not seem to understand the question. However it seems to me (correct me if I am wrong) that you based your conclusion only from a CPU-Z report.

Are there any other info that tells you it only uses 1GB of RAM?
