I have XP SP-2 operating system, 2 GB RAM Ausus Motherboard. My system retarts automatically after 5-6 minutes particularly during media player. I have updated my media player and even with update of media player problem persists.

I cannot directly answer that question because you did not supply the motherboard model number. You will have to look this up yourself, here is the url for Mercury support

The model number is usually printed on the motherboard, find it and you can download the manual, specs and drivers.

If your are just using windows xp with 32 bit operating system, 2 X1 gb would be enough... your pc will not be able to utilize the memory if you go beyond 2 gb in a 32 bit operating system..

Hope this helps...

1. Memory Type:DDR266( PC2100) 184 pin (2.5v)
2. 2 x DIMM
3. Max capacity: Up to 2 GB

Expansion Slots

1. 3 x PCI (PCI 2.2 compliant)
2. You can only used PCI graphic card not PCIE Graphic card
3. PCI graphic card is hard to find now but you can try to find at any computer surplus shop

what happen is this once you see such again change the Operating CD you are using and get another XP CD to try it again it might be the fault of the CD but if it persist then find a system that you will us it to format your harddisk and load the operating CD then later you change it back and ready for use

This is the limitation of a 32 bit (x86) Operating System. A 32 bit OS can detect upto 3GB RAM only.

You may either try installing the x64 Bit of XP Operating System or Vista Service Pack 1 or 2 for 32 bit Vista Operation System to resolve the issue.

After installing the SP 1 or 2 of the Vista OS in the Computer, the OS will detect 4GB RAM.


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you need to wait for the system to response.because media player 11 is designed for vista,but it also compatible with xp.but it works good only if u have 512 mb ram as minimum.so it is advisable to upgrade your ram.

1 gb is ok but if u put more ram is much better.

You need to update the BIOS.
