Hi guys,
I got the following problem....
2 years ago I upgraded the RAM (kingston hyper x ddr3 1600 MHz) in my PC (win7 ultimate 32bit) from 1x2 Gb to 2x4 Gb, in the BIOS the total memory was 8 Gb however I could use only 4 Gb due to 32-bit system. After a few days I reinstalled windows (win7 ultimate 32bit) and I remember windows install stopped at the "starting windows" screen. So I removed the new set of 2x4 Gb RAM and put the old 1x2 Gb RAM back, win install went fine, and then swapped the old RAM to the new 2x4 Gb RAM and I had a fully working 32 bit system with 4 Gb of RAM.
Today I reinstalled the windows 7 ultimate 64 bit version, same installation (I had to put back the old RAM in order to finish the install) and after the install finished, I changed the RAM from 1x2 Gb to 2x4 Gb. BIOS sees all 8 Gb of RAM, but windows does not load......screen freezes at "starting windows" screen. (with the 2Gb RAM it loads). But I need all 8.....
Motherboard: Gigabyte H55M-S2H
CPU: intel core i3 530
VGA: nvidia geforce 9400 gt
RAM: old: kingston hyper x ddr3 1600 MHz 1x2 Gb
new: kingston hyper x ddr3 1600 MHz 2x4 Gb
Please help me if you could
Thanks
