Hi, Currently i have Corsair XMS2 DDR2 1GBx2 memory sticks in my computer, i installed vista with this Ram and then after installation decided to place another 2GB's of RAM.
My issue currently is that Windows Vista will not load with 4GB's of Ram or even 3GB's. When i try to re-install Windows Vista with the new RAM in my pc restarts before installation begins, when i plug the ram in and try to run Vista normally, it either restarts at the loading screen or just crashes completely.
My PC Specifications are as follows:
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 Abit Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.70GHz
2GB Ram
GeForce 8600GTS 512MB Graphics Card
I have heard that there is a windows update which may resolve this issue however you need 3GB's of RAM installed, which my computer wont allow.
Any Bios related or any solution in general, could you please go into great detail and if possible step by step guides of how to fix this problem, i have a basic bios knowledge however take my knowledge as 0. (I have also Updated Vista to SP1 and have completed all Vital Updates)
Thanks.
