Hi all

I've managed to successfully install Vista Home Premium using 2G of RAM.
The problem now is that when I add another 2G the system blue screens and
reboots.

Any idea how to fix ?

many thanks, Kevin.
 
Richard - don't believe its a memory issue. Have tried various combination.
Can always boot when I have anything up to 3Gb (have only just tested this).
Adding the final 1Gb causes the problem.

Sounds like your new memory is faulty or not compatible with your system.

Cough *Bullshit* Cough

Same here. Upgraded to 4gigs and Vista blue screens. Same exact mem.
Boot to XP and that works fine. Memtest runs with zero errors. So I
just put the other 2gig in another PC. Works fine.
 
Then I'd bet the motherboard won't handle it. Vista will - I know. :-)
