Though I could not find it I am guessing that you mother board BIOS was programmed to read no more that 1.5 GB Ram.

Well I ran that crucial memory scan and it claims my pc can handle 2 gb, sad thing is now at 1.5 it is doing the exact same thing , after it sits awhile, i had a 256 and a 512 before and never had any of these problems. Any things i should change in the boot menu or any othr help would be greatly appriciated. thank you. John
The Motherboard may be limited in how much RAM it can address. Check the computer upgrade & service guide, which can be downloaded from Dell Support if you don't have it.
