| Ultimate x64 | Vista x64 will not boot with 4 gigs ram I think this is a bios update thing - although I can not get an update from msi as their update thing doesn't support 64 bit os. Here's the poop. Windows will boot with 1, 2, and 3 one gig modules in all different combos but when I stick in the 4th it doesn't even get to post. However, when I take out the cmos battery, then replace it along with the 4 gigs installed - it boots, but with a beep and a post that says bad checksum and something about setting the clock. If I select go ahead with the default settings it boots right into windows and things are sweet. But from there if I reboot I'm back to square 1. If I select at the post thing (f1) to go in to change the clock - then f10 out, I'm again back to square one. Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Last edited by dmex; 05-30-2008 at 06:00 PM..

| Vista x64 Ultimate | Re: Vista x64 will not boot with 4 gigs ram Reset the BIOS to default. Enable the memory hole. Are all the sticks identical? Are they fully supported? |

| Ultimate x64 | Re: Vista x64 will not boot with 4 gigs ram Hey. Thanks for the response. Yes to the first two of your questions. The memory I have is manufactured by Transcend. I haven't been able to cross reference my motherboard with this memory or vise-versa. |
