Vista & 4gigs of Ram CRASH
I had a similar problem running 2 video cards in crossfire mode and 4 Gigs. I
thought I was going nuts. It ran fine with 1 video and 4 Gigs or 1-3 Gigs. I called the video-card maker and motherboard maker, funny thing was each one would point the problem towards the other. Finally the motherboard support sent my complaint into the main office to check my configuration and found it was a BIOS problem. After a few weeks they sent me the new BIOS upgrade and everything worked great. I don't believe you have a Vista problem but a BIOS problem where Vista is running out of resources from the misinformation it is getting from the BIOS and crashes. regards, Larry "Ziggy" wrote: i have 4 gigs of pc 3200 installed works fine on my XP hard drive but crashes BSD when i boot my Vista drive works fine with 3 gigs ive switched them around every which way again 3 works just fine add the 4th eeeeeeeeeeeeeh CRASH any sugestions Ive ran the patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 and it still not cooperating Ive tested each stick of ram one by one all seem to work just fine i have latest chipset drivers or BIOS version still not working anymore suggetions ?
