Shouldnt I have more 'free' memory?

What is happening?

Answer 1

Looks like your paging file is also running down low. I'd be very careflul about downloading/installing software from anywhere.

Here's a memory test utility from microsoft. I download and make a floppy disk or you can burn contents to cd and boot into it to test your memory.

You may have some memory issues, a motherboard issue or some spyware or viruses just consuming the ram.

Answer 2

It looks like some of your RAM is corrupted. Try taking out individual RAM sticks at a time and starting the computer up each time. If you start it up and dont have the problem, then the RAM stick you took out is broken and you need to replace it.

Answer 3

download this program http://www.cpu-z.com this will tell you also about your memory once downloaded run it and click spd this will tell info and if both rams are good just click the slot one arrow,reminder some of these third party free program really do work
