You can often see a similar type of issue in 64 bit systems if you upgrade your ram to above 3.25gb, e.g. 4gb.
If you do it means you need to enable the Memory Remap feature (usually found under the Advanced heading) in your BIOS.
As I say "You may see it happen". If it does you need to enable the Memory Remap function in your BIOS.This shouldn't happen as a 64bit OS can use all the available memory and iirc windows 7 HP can access upto 64GB and Ultimate upto 192GB.

Google Only 3.25gb ram usable in 64 bit windows 7. It's a common problem after upgrading ram from below the 3.25gb threshold (it happened to me when I upped from 2gb to 4gb).
Actually, it is physics and simple math.Elmer said:As Far as I'm aware, 32 bit systems are "limited" to the amount of ram they can use, circa 3.25gb. Something to do with x86 Legacy, I think.
Actually, it is physics and simple math.2 ^ 32 = 4,294,967,296 or 4G
However, because of the way Windows maps hardware addresses (especially graphics) only 2.8Gb - 3.6Gb (typically around 3.25Gb) is "available" for the system. And all operating systems have limits to the amount of RAM they can use. But with 64-bit, it is,2 ^ 64 = 4,611,686,018,427,387,904 or a whole bunch!
Question: Is a "whole bunch" more or less than "you can shake a stick at"?
I used the one built into Windows 7. Of course, this is 64-bit Windows 7, so maybe the 32-bit calculator can't count up to 2 to the 64th power!Need to borrow Digerati's calculator!!
Not only that, when they subtract, they do it by adding!Do computers do sums these days?????
Don't forget to carry the 1.
