I purchased and built this from scratch back in August 2006
Motherboard
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor
AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 2.41 Ghz (not overclocked)
GPU
ATI Radeon X1900XT 512 Meg
Memory
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ from Newegg
Memory installed in Slots Dimm A2 and Dimm B2 as recommended my motherboard manufacturer.
Running Phoenix Award Bios. V6.00PG
Been running XP since then.
No problems at all
Switched to Vista Home Premium 32 bit in the fall of 08
No problems after the conversion.
Realized I could now upgrade RAM to 4 Gig instead of the 2 Gig XP limitation.
Purchased G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory from Newegg. I used my old invoice to get the SAME memory.
I installed it in the two open slots I have (Dimm A1 and Dimm B1) and I get the blue screen of death and it will not boot.
Memory test says no problem. I can choose the memory test when the machine boots.
The machine is set to dual boot vista and XP . Have not tried to boot XP with the 4 gb in it. (didn?t really think to try). Don?t really think this is a dual system issue?
I pull the two sticks of memory, and the machine runs fine.
I exchange the two new sticks for the two old sticks and the machine works just fine. I just cannot put all four sticks in it and have it work.
Did I miss something. Shouldn?t it just be plug and go???
Did I do something wrong?
