Intel Imac Ram began to shrink

[keilbaker]

i had re-installed of all my mac disks and then eventually installed Leopard and my ram had shrunk from 2GB to 1GB !

what went wrong ?

sounds like your computer isn't "seeing" both sticks of RAM, only one of them. turn off the computer and reseat them. see what happens.

 

[keilbaker]

its been restarted bout 4 times due to updates i made ?

ok... check the RAM. make sure it is seated correctly. you can check system profiler just to make sure. but i'm suspecting it will only recognizing one of them.

 

[keilbaker]

the system profiler is saying only 1 ram like ?

 

[bozz2006]

right. so it is only seeing one stick of RAM. remove them. put them back in. see if that solves the problem.
