setup is an Asus A8N5X MB with an amd 3200 x2 cpu
Had this ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820145579
Bought it awhile ago ( 3 years or so)
So today I pick up another batch of that ram (same stuff) but when I install all 4 chips, it'll POST but windows will give me a hardware error (vista x64) and reboot. If I pull out ONE stick of RAM, dont matter which, it'll boot fine and show me 3gigs of RAM.
I tried swapping them to different slots repeatedly, default settings in BIOS for RAM timings 'n stuff.
One thing I did notice was the new chips are maybe 1/8" taller than the old ones *shrugs* still the 'works with 3 in any order but not 4' befuddles my little brain....
Any idears???
