Guest rabidfoxcontrol@hotmail.com Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I was running 1 gig using 2 pairs of 256Mb matched modules in 4 slots and replaced the first pair with a matched pair of 1 gig modules which gave a total of 2.5 gig. Windoes XP x64 edition boots fine in safe mode but not in standard mode. I went through the boot from CD repair process (past the recover console option) but no change. Is there a boot.ini setting or other update required to enable Windows Xp x64 edition to run after a memory upgrade?
Guest DL Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: windows xp x64 and memory upgrade You may need to check your mobo manual or mobo web site as to the *exact* requirements for your memory configeration ie what sizes/types of memory are supported and in which slots. Its v.unlikely to be anything to do with winxp settings.
