I have a MacPro with 6 Gb memory installed, by a Mac authorized facility. At times, only 4 Gb is shown as available memory. I hav to reset the SMU, which regains the lost memory. I have to do this every couple of weeks. Any suggestions as to how to avoid this recurring problem?
Got a tip for us?

have you ran the apple hardware test? and memtest?
try those if not. reseat the memory in different slots.
depending on the configuration you have (ie; 2x512, 2x2gb 4x1gb etc) you may need to seat them (the larger chips) in the first banks, sometimes its goofy, idk i ran into this once or twice.
might be non-ecc ram mixed with ecc-ram?
