Hey guys, I've been having some trouble getting 4 gigs of Ram and Vista Ultimate x64 working together. I have tested all the dimms and they work in all slots on their own. They all pass 2 hours of memtest with no errors. I have tried upping the voltage (the memory is 2 sets of Wintec AmpX 2 x 1GB 1.8 volt memory). I'm running this on a Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3. Voltage and timing settings on the board are correctly set.
What the thing does it that when I try and boot up with 4 gigs of ram installed as soon as it tries and loads Vista (as in shows the loading bar) it reboots. When I try and boot it in safe mode it gets to a file called "chcdisk.sys" or something (I'm not positive if that was the name) and then reboots the same way it does normally. With 3 gigs it boots fine. Right now I'm using it and with 3 gigs it is stable in counter strike source and with several hours of 3DS Max usage. Anyone have any idea what it could be? My other system specs are in my sig. Also. nothing is overclocked at all.
