What.. the.. hell?
Anyway, I hoped that you reply more in general, as main idea showing your point of view about the subject, although it depends on the problem. I suggest that you lurk around a bit.

As far as I'm concerned, it surely has to do with our subject, you mentioned the 5-years-without-formatting, didn't you? Specifications, please.

It depends on what he's doing on the PC for that whole 5 years. And how he's managing to deal with events.
I can run a PC for 100 years without doing anything on it, and it will be fine.

2- What anti-virus you are using?
3- Can you click on "click here" in the error message you are putting here and show me the details?

The 32-bit limitation is 4Gb and not 3Gb.
(2^32) / (1024^3) = 4 .
Also, read here.
Also, give this a try. Run cmd as administrator and write this command:
BCDEdit /set PAE forceenable
This command will enable Physical Address Extension. (It might not work, it depends on your system).

Huh ? Did you even understand what you just said ? Or did you say it for the sake of arguing ? Btw, I'm Lebanese, in case you don't know.

Yup, 5 years without formatting, every single problem I encounter I use my Google friend .

Dude, stop arguing for the sake of it, and try to be helpfull, suggest solutions to the problems these two members are facing .

p337 and los blancos stop arguing.

[SysTaMatIcS]

weird , the generic host problem is gone , i ddnt disable my antivirus.
question is , will my system use 4 gigs of ram and read them as 3 (as its doing) or it will use only 3 gigs? and is it harmfull to leave it this way?
