4 memory sticks w/Vista64 problem

[Guest steveonan]

Need some help!!

 

Have the following:

ASUS P5K

Intel E8400

Corsair (4x) 1gb ram TwinXMS

EVGA 8800gt

Vista 64bit

 

My system runs very unstable with all 4 sticks in, continually bsod's. Ran

memory test, says memory has a problem. Put 2 sticks in, ran mem test, all

ok, put other 2 sticks in alone, mem test ok. Put all 4 in together, bios

and windows sees all 4gb, but it is still unstable. Any suggestions? I

could run with 2, but why use 64bit?

 

Thanks

A common hardware issue with pc6400 that has been discussed frequently in

vista.hardware_devices. If you are running pc6400 reduce your dram speed to

667 and it should stabilize. The issue, if it is the one you have, shows up

when the fourth dimm slot is filled on some mobos.
