PC won't boot with 4GB RAM

[zesto]

I need the extra memory to run my test SAP system.
I have a full SAP Java + ABAP application server 6.40 running on Solaris.
I also have an XI 3.0 system on top of that, all of which is quite memory hungry so the extra RAM on Solaris will go a long way!

Do you have a spare HDD you can use to reinstall the O/S's and see if that sorts out the problem? - worked for me...

Im using two SATAs at the moment but i guess i could reinstall everything if it gets it to work with the 4GB

if its locking in windows then reload or run xp with only 3 gig memory

you'll loose the dual channel though im sure

I hate having to work in single channel... It's as if the entire PC is on Valium

Asus P5B-E with 4 x 1GB ram not detecting all the ram.

To detect the full 4GB or more, you must enable Memory Remap in the BIOS. If you are using 32-bit OS (Windows XP), you will be limited. To use the full amount of memory installed, you must use 64-bit OS (XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit, etc...)

Not sure if that helps?

That could be a bit of a problem. Why don't they just fix it with 32-bit releases?!

Just get a cracked version of VISTA.

Everytime my Windows locked due to RAM I just found it to be a setting in BIOS, namely a high clock speed or the latency set too low. Try slowing down your memory just a tad also increase CAS Latency a little more (Like 3 instead of 2.5) . Otherwise change BIOS memory settings to something slower than Turbo. Thats all I can suggest.
