Good scan here:

Very strange your Vista is only detecting half your current RAM!

Your board is hard to find info on. Found this though; Its a persons computer specs.

Windows XP proffessional on a Mach Speed P4M800P-8237 motherboard running a Pentium D 2.8 gig CPU and 2 gig of PC4200/5300mhz DDR RAM .

i ran the crucial memory scan (this is my second time trying this scan) and my computer got a blue screen that says its shutting down my computer for my computer's safety,
also, i only have 1gb of ram, i have pulled out the stick and it says 1GB nothing else but when i right click my computer it says i have 2gb.

i used a program called ccleaner to clean up registry and temporary files, it gives my computers specs and it also shows 2GB

ps. i have a USB stick in using readyboost and i am using 2.8GB of that USB

Is this the board:

Mach Speed Support Site - Matrix P4M800 MATX Socket 478

no mine is socket 775.
and just to save you some time, ive looked and looked through the machspeed website and i haven't been able to find it.

CPU_Z should get a good read of your current RAM:

CPUID

Have you tried using it in either slot?

Also is your graphics on-board or do you have a graphics card?


In the long run if you can match that stick you have you should have no problem using another one just like it. Mixing speeds and brands is not a good idea.

That being said the Crucial scanner and the mis read cause some concern about the board itself.

i ran cpuz and it says i have 1GB of DDR2 ram
my motherboard is the same model, but it does not give a monufacturer
and i do have a graphics card: Evga e-GeForce 7300 GT 512MB AGP 8x
