memory module

I have an Inspiron 2500. Recently, the system performance box in Windows ME and the system BIOS show only 62 MB of RAM. The computer came with 128 MB installed. I reseated the memory modules and the 128 MB came back, but then it disappears again the next time I reboot.

    Try interchanging the modules and see if it helps.  Sounds like one or the other of the modules may be flakey or one of your memory sockets is bad or going bad.

    Furthermore to what the genlemen above said.  Try a single module in each slot, and see if after a reboot or two of each config whether one shows no memory....might help ya narrow down exactly which slot or which module is bad.
