first off ya ya, old board.
but anyway i have this [ABIT - IS7-G - bios v24] been running fine past 2yrs on a prescott 3.2ghz 800fsb, 4x1gb pc3200 geil ram. sata - 3xwd green 2tb 1xwd green 1tb, pata - 2xwd black 500gb and 1xwd 80gb blue. vid is AGP ati gigabyte hd4650. 700w nzxt psu. finally upgraded processor to SL7CH p4 3.4ghz Extreme Edition and now if i have all 4 sticks of ram in the system loops at the post and won't even let me in the bios screen. i take 2 sticks out and its all back to normal??? i've tried 3 different types of random sizes, speeds and brands i have laying around to the same problem. anyone ever run into this or have insight? man if its not one thing its another, arg! thx for any help
and p.s. i don't have (and can't afford right now) any pc3200 2gb sticks so did not get to attempt that.
update: i removed the gigabyte AGP hd4650 1gb vid card and replaced it with a nvidia pci 9800gt (that eats a ton of your main memory on mobo and calls it "shared") what i was trying to avoid. and it seems to be stable so far. bu now instead of my system reading 3.5gb ram it reads 2.00 and the 9400gt 1g is reading total 1791, dedicated 1024, shared 767 so i would still like any input on being able to keep that AGP 1gb card (that leaves the system at 3.50gb and the vid at 1024 and shared like 1024) in there instead so any help appreciated.
