Howdy,
I have been running Vista Ultimate 32 (retail) for awhile now. I've been thinking about switching to 64 bit and so I got another 2 gigs of ram to go with my other 2 (Kingston Value Ram 1gigX 2). My issue is when I boot Vista (still the 32bit) it will not load. My error is 0x000000A5 (0x00001000,0x00000000,x0xFFFFFFFF,0x00002040), Bios is non ACPI complaint.
I have installed the Microsoft patch for the problem loading vista with more than 3 gigs of ram, no luck. When I try & boot off the DVD after the files load I get the same BSOD. If I boot with 3 gigs of ram, it boots with no problem. I was able to borrow 4 gigs of G.Skill ram (2gX2), same problem (all memory has been tested using memtest).
My MB has an intergrated graphics port & if I load vista off that with 4 gigs of ram it boots with no problem. I emailed gigabyte & they replied back that it could be a power supply problem. Any other suggestions? I've looked through the bios but don't see anything obvious. I've searched around but haven't found any anwers. Also, I do not overclock.
Thanks for any suggestions!
