Maxed memory and all I got was Blue Screen of Death.

Is there a setting that needs to be changed to allow 4 gigs of memory in a Dell Vostro 220 running Windows Vista home Basic?There tech support is telling me I have the right memory and it will take 2x2gigs of memory.It came with 2x1gig.I've tryed the new memory one at a time in each of the 2 slots,and they work fine.I'm using 1x1gig,1x2gig=3gigs.Put both 2 gigs in and if it starts,the minuite I try to do anythig "Blue Screen of Death".Any ideas?Is there a setting that needs to be change or a tweak.Dell just wants to talk about it...blah,blah,blah not us.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

First can you tell me if there is 2 slots or 4.

Please follow this tutorial as to upload the BSOD files.

I will forward this to one of the forums experts on BSOD's and they will get back to you shortly...

I have sent this to a BSOD expert and he will get back to you...

Looking at the manual that memory should work, if it is DDR2800 MHz SDRAM (DDR2 667 MHz capable).
