Ok guys, I've got a problem... I recently upgraded my system with a new motherboard, core 2 duo processor, new memory and a new graphics card. Only problem is, I can't manage to get the 4GB and GeForce 8600GT working together.

My memmory is 2x (DDR2-800 2GB PC6400)

CL = 5-5-5-15

When I remove one of the 2GB sticks, it does work perfectly.

I get the following error:
Your BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant.

Any ideas?

Check for BIOS Updates and ensure you have the memory patch that microsoft put out for this exact problem. There are a bunch of threads here that cover the whole memory issue. Let me know if you dont know what I am talking about.
Oh, and did you install all the main board drivers?

I do know what you're talking about, but I already have the latest BIOS. I also have the microsoft update installed. Now trying to download SP1, many people said it worked for them. I also heard something about problems with NVidia chipsets and 4GB ram on x64 systems... All mainboard drivers are installed corectly from the intel disk.

I didnt have a problem with it I'm running an Asus P5n32 board with intel core 2 duo E6600 2.4ghz , 4gb corsair ddr2 800 with a latency of 4-4-4-12 and 2 xfx 8600gt xxx edition 256mb graphic card and all my ram shows up fine in vista ulitmate x64 even before the sp1. Although my bios came with an option that ask if I have sli ready ram and of course I enable it and put it to mem max in option.

Is this a BIOS error? If so, then don't worry about Windows patches for now. Either your motherboard doesn't support ACPI, you don't have the latest BIOS, or you don't have it turned on. I had a similar problem with my motherboard (which is well over a year old now) but a BIOS update solved everything. What motherboard do you have?

Hi,

I am also having the same problem.
Were you able to solve you problem, with graphics card and 4gb ram?

I used to have 2GB ram and everything seemed to work so good so far. I had recently bought a new 2GB RAM stick and when plug it into another slot and start the machine it stuck in restart loop. When I am trying to repair OS with vista dvd it shows BOD with error message "your BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant" but when I remove any of 2 gb ram stick it works fine.

If you have found the solution to this problem can you please respond to this thread.

Thanks in advance

My System configure is

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
4GB of Memory
Intel Original Motherboard
XFX 8600 GT DDR3 Graphics Card
Vista Ultimate 32 Bit

Click to expand...

Something is seriously wrong here. Either I am misreading, or else...

Read the part in blue and then the part in red - and explain to me how you'd have a problem with nVidia chipsets and an Intel driver disc....either you have an nVidia chipset and the Intel drivers aren't gonna do you a lot of good, or you have an Intel-baed motherboard and the nVidia thing does nto apply....and the last I checked, Intel does not make a motherboard with an nVidia chipset.

*So*, you need to ascertain what motherboard and chipset you *are* using - if, for example, it is an Intel chipset, then obviously the 4 GB / nVidia thing does not apply to you. If, however, you have an nVidia chipset, then I *doubt* that Intel disc is going to do you much good....

I have Original Intel motherboard so I guess, this could not have nvidia chipset.
For me everything work perfect when I use 2 GB RAM. I am able to boot and play games, do things.. etc.
The problem occur when I put my another 2 GB RAM stick in slot(total of 4 GB RAM). My system BIOS shows 4 GB RAM but I am not able to boot the system afterwards. It keeps rebooting when it tries to load the windows.
When I take out any of 2GB RAM stick it is able to boot and works fine. :)

One more thing is that if I take out my graphics card and put both 2 GB RAM stick(2x2GB). It works fine. :)

It's kind of weird problem!

You say it keeps rebooting, is this due to a blue screen?
If it is boot your system on 2gb and turn off auto reboot on blue screen. Put the 4gb back in and reboot to get the error code, Post the error code and we will endevour to help you.
One other piece of helpful information would be to know the motherboard and not just the ram info. Unless I am missing something posted earlier.

Otherwise it may simply be that your system is drawing too much power with both RAM sticks *and* the video card installed....

And as for it being a weird problem - yeah, a lot of the nVidia mobo owners were scratching their heads on this one as well - but most of them were able to solve the problem but only having 1 stick installed when installing Vista, and then adding the remaining sticks post-install.

I, OTOH, never had an issue with installing Vista with all 4 GB of RAM installed on my motherboard - and that amounts to 2 times now, plus a Windows 7 install as well.

These types of really really weird errors are hard to ascertain as to cause because it could literally be something really really dumb, stupid, defective, or just plain inexplicable.

What wattage is your PSU, btw?
