Vista Ultimate x64

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? |

- 4GB GEIL DDR2-800 - GeForce 8600GT 512MB - Windows Vista Ultimate x64 - 160GB HD (I know...) |

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.

Have you got ACPI turned on in the bios. It is not always on by default.

Let us know if SP1 helps you out... Just as well, like roy69 says about ACPI, let us know what yours was defaulted to.

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?
