How many sticks are installed? What type are they? Have you swapped slots?
Try replacing the CMOS battery, maybe its not holding the upgraded settings.

Re: ram help please!
hmm.. when you restart your computer, repeatedly press F2 to get into BIOS. see if you can find what it says.

Re: ram help please!
ok, thats what i checked before than. It only said 1gig of ram was installed even though there should be two. The thing i dont get is, why when I update my BIOS it would work properly but then after a power-down it wont recognize the second stick of ram.
