Cannot shut down?

When trying to shut my computer off, I get this error message: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE_bEGGINNING DUMP OF PHYSICAL MEMORY

DUMPING PHYSICAL MEMORY TO DISK

When looking at my available RAM, it says I only have 512KB when in fact I should have 512MB

I would appreciate any help.
