Is Memory Hole Remapping enabled in your BIOS? If it is, disable it and see if that fixes the problem.

^^nope.i know that 32bit only support total of 4 gb including graphics memory.i am using 64bit but still i am getting that message so i don't know where to look for the solution of the problem.

Open msconfig --> Go to the 'Boot' tab --> Uncheck 'Max memory' and Reboot.

Also do what Futsuu said. There is an option of 'Memory remapping' in BIOS. Try tweaking with it.
