i think you should run a virus or spyware check because sometimes they can cause this kind of problems...or might be you ram is being used up by a recently installed software.....

Ah, yes I have seen this, personaly. It took a few days but it came back. I had a memory card go bad, well I suspect that only one chip on the card actually failed bet at the cost of memory it wasn’t worth my time to try to isolate the chip and repair the card.
It could take quite some time but you will see it again if you are having the same problem. Do you remember what you were doing when it was reduced? If so try to reproduce it. If not you can try a memory utility to test your RAM. If you don’t have a utility to test your memory you could try to load a bunch of programs to tax you system. You know play a video file (in-background) and a game and maybe Internet browser. Just keep opening programs all at the same time until you nearly max-out your RAM. With only 256Mbytes it shouldn’t take too long. ;-)
I don’t see that it matters for this question but I am from the USA and currently living in the Marshall Islands.
Good luck

Im from Australia, and because I suspect your using windows vista or XP it didn't calculate it properly... ether that or you didn't put it in properly and it's not correctly working make sure that all the pins are inside the port and the clips are in right... also they might be 'clashing' with each other
but usualy windows or mac computer tell you that you have exactly 256mb of ram... most of the time they'll tell you that you have 212mb or something depending on how many programs your running in the background/foreground

This is a sure way of telling you that your RAM is failing other than that I can't think of any thing else that would cause this sort of problem. if you have two strips of memory in your computer then only one of those is failing or if both had failed you would have lost the lot. get it checked out
Sorry I can't be more help as I am in UK

Just clean the terminal of your RAM with an eraser.

sounds like it replaced into the recreation ,a means draw from the image card, attempt working the recreation at medium settings and notice if any distinction contained in the fan slowing down,frequently the computer works sturdy without gaming ?
