You should run a thorough memory test (mem86 is often suggested here, and

seems to do well, as does the one built into Vista and downloadable from

microsoft.com). There's likely an underlying issue that the the POST code

doesn't show.

Re: yes another ram question

 

no - you get a bootable CD - you cannot test your memory with an OS filling

it up!

Re: yes another ram question

 

Did the memory test see 6GB? Does the post count all 6GB? How do you have

6GB installed? What combination of sticks are you using, in what slots? Did

you contact Corsair about it? They may have some advice specific for the

memory and motherboard you are using.
