Ram issues

When I run programs like lightmaps and use photoshop, I get ram caused erros, one being from PS that says (not enough ram). I go into my system and its only using 1.25, while my PC says I have 8 gigs installed, It knows it is installed, so maybe one or two are dead? I would guess though if they were dead they would not say installed.

64bit OS?
64bit version of PS or whatever you're using for lightmapping?
32bit OS has 4GB total addressable memory, that includes your GPU RAM , so a 2GB GPU will leave only ~1.8Gb of RAM for OS + programs.

I'll just give everything just in case
AMD Phenonm II X4 965 Processor 3.40 GHz
8 GB ram
windows 7 64 bit
Radeon 5800 Series card

Your best bet is to either
1. burn to CD
or
2. INstall on a bootable USB flash drive
a suite of RAM testing utilities run in either a miniDOS or mini Linux UI, and do a bunch of stress tests over night.
