The reason the system tells you that you have 3.1 Giga bytes is because the
hardware architecture uses some address bits
for other purposes and therefore those address bits are not available for
memory use. Perfectly normal.
I cannot think or even rationalize how the HD can cause this problem. I.E.
Why doesn't the problem show up when the HD is written to--when hiberfil is
being created?
Some facts:
You bought the computer with 4 gigs installed?
Problem showed up first about 10 days ago?
You were hibernating the computer before 10 days ago?
Any hardware added within the last 12 days?
This is really a challenge I enjoy.

In my computer? Yes, I hope.
In my head? probably less that 640K (it seems to wear out after almost 75
years of use).

Rergardng my computer:

Belarc states:
"Memory Modules
"3318 Megabytes Installed Memory
"Slot 'J1MY' has 2048 MB (serial number 0x693A0429)
"Slot 'J2MY' is Empty
"Slot 'J3MY' has 2048 MB (serial number 0x693A4929)
"Slot 'J4MY' is Empty

System Properties states"
"3.24 GB of RAM

EVEREST Home Edirtion states:
"Physical Memory
" total 3317 MB

My computere invoice states:
"2GB 800 MHZ DDR2 DIMM (AKVR800D2N5-2G) Qty 2.

Why the system tells me I have only 3.18 (or so) GB, while my invoice says
I bought 4 GB, I can not
explain.

The reason I bought an extra 2 GB is because memory is cheap, and I don't
like the possibility of
using swap files. At least, that was my rerasoning.

HTH!
