Memory upgrade blues...

If you're running Windows XP with service pack 3, your problem is actually a problem with service pack 3. Microsoft has in fact corrected the problem, so making sure that you've downloaded and installed all the updates will solve the problem. Let me know if this doesn't help, and we'll troubleshoot a little more.

Let me make sure, even if your motharboard supports 4 GB memory, A system of 32 bit (most users use 32 bit and among intel processors only intel core2duo/dual core supports 64 bit) wont show more than 3 GB of ram. its an operating system limitation.

But sorry to say, The max limit for your motherboard is 2GB.

Thanks

Its a memory problem obviously. Try dusting the memory slot and try inserting the memory into the slot a couple of times. If still not working, the memory may be incompatible(rarely, there are brands of boards that doesn't suit to certain brands of memory), or it may be damaged.

Hi jdnimrod,
This is not you're first post about the Foxconn mother board.
You have an issue with the PS2 keyboard as well. This Foxconn model ( 761GXK8 you listed ), is not 100% correct.
Please check this link:

Find which is you're board.
Than post back into this answer.
It is important you run the exact CPU that is compatible with the mother board.

I'll help you further once I know the correct mother board.

I did find others for less on the surface. Untill you go to check out & get slammed for shipping (ground), falls between $4.99 to $9.99. I use Corsair myself. Never had a problem.

Have more questions, feel free to ask.

Foxconn uses the Award bios. One beep repeating means, check for improperly seated or missing memory. You can find that here. http://bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm
Remove your memory & re-seat.

Good luck!

• Two 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM slots.
• Single Channel DDR2 400/533.
• Supports up to 2 GB system memory.

You may have faulty memory, go a run memtest86 and see if you end up with any errors. http://www.memtest.org/ Here is the link.

Take out the 512mb and leave in the 256mb and 128mb and see what happens. Switch the memory around to other slots. It may be the speed of the chips. They should all be the same.
