So my computer has been sneezing a lot lately. For a while I was getting a BSOD if it was on for very long at all. I figured it might be one of my memory sticks, so I removed it, and it seemed to solve the problem. Then I turned it on one day and it took no less than a half hour to go through the BIOS boot screen which usually takes 10 seconds if that. But it didn't happen again.

I turned it on just the other day, and nothing. Well, not *exactly* nothing. The first few lines of the BIOS boot would come up, ending at where it checks my RAM.. the weird thing is I have 3Gb of RAM (2x 1Gb Patriot, 2x 512Gb Kingston DDR400) which adds up to 3072Kb... and it shows only 1024Kb, and stops right there. I'll get a screencap if I can.

So, is my mobo fried? I don't want to go hunting down a discontinued board if I don't have to, and I don't have the funds to build a new computer. Thanks a billion.

It's more than likley one or more of your ram sticks died if all the memory isn't showing up. Try and run memtest to see if your ram sticks are functioning.

I'd run if it if I could get it past the BIOS boot screen, but it just hangs there. I've even tried swapping out all of the different RAM sticks but it just hangs, showing I have 1024K of memory (no matter what sticks in what combination) eternally and nothing more.
