Hey everyone. This is a funny issue. I have a pc that has 512mb installed but now is only reading 32mb! It says this in Windows and also in the BIOS. A friend of mine gave me this pc to check another issue. On boot up before the login page is displayed I get the following error:

 

lsass.exe - System Error

"The endpoint format is invalid."

The pc will just reboot when you hit ok and recycle back to the same error. I am sure the memory reading is causing this. The pc will boot in safe mode (XP SP2), but 32mb is still showing when you right click My Computer and select properties.  I am trying to track down a DDR chip to test but was wondering if this may also be another issue? I have even run memmtester on bootup and that is also showing that the module installed is 32mb! The chip is a 512mb because this is what the pc came with and is also labeled that way.
