New RAM -- BSOD on Boot

[JjSeVdT]

I did a search and couldn't find anything relevant.

I bought 4GB of Corsair XMS2 memory to upgrade from 2GB Value Select memory. I placed the memory with no problems, but upon starting windows I get a BSOD (I don't remember the title from the error), but it said if you recently installed new hardware besure it's installed correctly.

I double checked that it's fitted correctly and the system Bios recognizes all 4GB. If you need any more info than I provided, please let me know.

The equipment:
Mobo: ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB
Processor: Intel C2D E6420
Memory: CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Windows: Vista Ultimate 64bit

Hi JjSeVdT, welcome to the board.

Have you installed then in the same color code banks. They usually arranged in alternate to the other color banks. If it is not it, try a memory test. Duh me.:D
