    Hard to believe a 3-4 month old computer would be out of warranty.

    Techs were baffled. I dl Win 8.1 last night and it seems to run fine. It seems like it's running with 4 gb RAM which is what the techs agreed today. The system just reads it as 1.47 gb. I told them I'd just live with it. Any tips on forcing the system to read out 4?

    If it's still under warranty Make them either fix it or replace it.

    Just my opinion, but if my in-warranty PC had that problem, I'd replace it.
