I have yet another RAM issue. This time it's on my laptop.

It's an Acer Aspire 5920, with 3GB of DDR2 333MHz. (1x 2GB and 1x 1GB)

Last time I knew all 3GB was working was last Monday, because I was able to run VirtualPC. I came to run virtual PC in college this afternoon, and it wouldn't run because it said there wasn't enough RAM. I went into the settings, and it was the same as last week (2048). But now 2048 was the maximum and I had to lower it to 1GB.

Right click My Computer > Properties shows 2GB of RAM. As does dxdiag and Everest Ultimate.

How ever, my BIOS and CPU-Z is still detecting 3GB.

Do I have a dead 1GB stick?
