new build probs

[vickie4]

hi there

i bought these new parts last week....asus p5n32-e sli plus, e6750 ,8600gt and 4 gig of ocz memory and not forgeting a original copy of vista.

problem is when you install vista onto the system you get error after error and also you cant update windows ,install msn and it wont work at all with all 4 sticks of memory. can you please tell me what is wrong as i give up trying to guess.

thanks vickie

32 bit or 64 bit vista?

64 bit

Is it ok with 2 sticks? If so i'd get the system working with 2 sticks, updated etc THEN go to 4 sticks.

If possible can you increase the voltage for the RAM just a tad. Mine wouldnt boot properly until I did this.

I increased from 1.8 to 1.9 volts for mine to work. Be careful when you make any change.

hello again
still no look....bit of a daft question but my motherboard says ddr2 and my graphics card says ddr3 does that make a difference......

No gfx cards have been using DDR3 for some time, it won't make any difference.

Have you tried the above suggestions re voltage and 2 sticks?

hi there
i have only got 2 sticks in at the moment it wont even come on with 4, also i did a windows memory diagnostics test and it found hardware faults but it dont tell you what it is.
really starting to annoy me now

Very simple, run memtest with only 1 stick at a time, determine which sticks are faulty and return ! :)

Try this take out 2 Gigs, and install the following update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777/ (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777/)

Boot with the 2 gigs still installed. Then shut down and put the other two back in.
