Ok, my system is in sig...I just went to Fry's and bought another 4gb DDR2 memory to add to my system, to have total of 8gb.

I purchased the exact same model, speed, everything 100% match to what I already have. So I take the two sticks out of the package, snap into the Abit IP35-Pro motherboard, turn it back on, and system boots ups says I have 8gb memory, but then trying to get into Vista64-Ultimate it restarts itself right before the load screen appears.

So I also have a 2nd computer which has again 4gb of the 100% exact same brand and model memory, which I know works for sure, I try that and computer still does the same thing, and I know all 4 of these sticks of memory are all good too, so it is not bad memory.

I reset the CMOS and that does nothing, I run memory tester in bios that says all is good. I remove take memory out and reste them and still same thing. I run in safe mode, still does not get to Vitsa screen, just restets itself.

Then my Brother said what about my SoundBuster card he named my X-Fi, he says he read issues with X-Fi sound cards and 8gb of memory ? Weird thing is I finally keep trying my system and it finally loads up to Vista perfect, but I have no freaking sound now WTF ??

Please help me
 
Check the BIOS and see if whether or not the onboard sound is disabled. If so, reactivate it.

If that doesn't work, go online and see if you could find, download, and reinstall the audio drivers. You could check the motherboard's manufacturer site or (if you know where) you could check the site of the manufacturer of the audio chip to see if they have some updated drivers.

(Do you still have 8GB of RAM in your system?)
