Re: Help! decreased available memory error

Sorry to read about the troubles. I've moved your post to the Dell forums.

The first step is to determine if the "memory size decrease" is due to a faulty motherboard (mb) or memory stick (RAM).

Start with the RAM.
Start the machine and enter the BIOS and read how much memory the BIOS reports. Compare this value to the actual amount in the system.

Reset the BIOS to the defaults.

Restart the machine and see if you still have the error.

Report back to us after you have reset the BIOS.
