Screen freeze after Startup with installed new ram added
I'm having pbm with two ram PC5300, 200-Pin SODIMM (512MB Samsung and 1GB
Kingston) after installed it on my laptop which the screen just freeze after Vista startup. The BIOS could detect the total ram size as well as on the Vista welcome center display. There's no issue on XP MCE before i upgrade to Vista Home Premium (32bit). Below was the pbm reporter: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ Problem caused by computer hardware This problem was caused by an unrecoverable hardware error that caused the operating system to stop functioning.

Could someone enlight whether the pbm liase with difference ram manufacturer or must use the same capacity? Any workaround to solve this if i want to keep both ram (1.5GB) instead? |

Your problem is that you have 2 different sizes of DDR2 memory instead of a
matched pair. If might have worked on XP but not on Vista. Suggest you replace the 512 Samsung with a 2nd 1GB Kingston "Tiff" wrote in message ...

Run MemTest86 to test the memory.
if MemTest86 detects a ton of errors, there could be issues with either a bad stick of ram, or a compatibility issue with the ram used together or the ram and the motherboard. http://www.memtest86.com/ MemTest86 is a free download that you can burn to CD (ISO), or put on a Floppy.

I guess there's no issue with the ram with mobo as it worked on XP before.
Perharp an identical matching pair (same type, manufacturer, size, ...) of ram need on Vista....**gosh** Thanks for sharing the light with me...TT" "Xenomorph" wrote: Run MemTest86 to test the memory. if MemTest86 detects a ton of errors, there could be issues with either a bad stick of ram, or a compatibility issue with the ram used together or the ram and the motherboard. http://www.memtest86.com/ MemTest86 is a free download that you can burn to CD (ISO), or put on a Floppy.
