Cannot Boot into Vista
My custom built pc will not successfully boot into Vista x64. It keeps crashing/BSOD then restarting. This began after I exchanged "faulty" ram at Frys with good ram. They tested the ram at the store... Mobo is fairly new. One of their techs said there might be compatibility issues between the mobo brand, Gigabyte, and the ram, Kingston. Is there any truth to that? Or is something else malfunctioning? PC crashes with 8GB, 6GB, 4GB & 2GB installed... The specs on the unit: Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H Kingston ValueRAM PC-6400 8GB, AMD X2 5600+ 2.9Ghz processor Seagate 200GB HD Samsung 640GB HD Sony DVDR Antec Basiq 500watt PSU Windows Vista x64 Ultimate -- merkat106

(what plugged into the red and what plugged into the yellow slots everything worked before the ram went for a ****? if so, and you replaced the ram with new pc2-6400 then there must be something wrong with the ram, it only makes sence. If there's nothing wrong with the ram it's self, then there's something wrong with how you're setting it up, or somethings ****ing up because your board should be able to run that ram....it can run , PC2-5300, PC2-6400, PC2-8500, PC2-9600 -- Praxis Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Cease over clocking and put your bios back to the default settings. (-;
