If that doesn’t look like a Windows problem perhaps Microsoft should talk compatibility with Crucial and/or Asus with regard to RAM configuration. However, with any two of my Ballistix modules installed MemTest-86 also crashes. I understand the difference between client and server SKUs here, but given that theĪWE functions are available on the client SKUs as well as server SKUs. Limited to 4 GB, the 32-bit server SKUs do go above 4 GB.

I have another PC running on a GigaByte motherboard with 2 X 2 GB Ballistix DDR3 RAM modules installed and that has never crashed.īut then that PC is running 32-bit Windows XP Pro.Īddress Windowing Extensions would seem to be evidence that a 32-bit Windows system can deal with more than 4 GB RAM. Keeping total RAM modules to 2GBs has cured my crashes, and may therefore help other people to do the same - hence my submission. However, with any two of my Ballistix modules installed MemTest-86 confirms all four Ballistix modules are without error and runs normally when only one 2GB module is installed.

With one 2GB module installed in either DDR3 slot, Windows 7 runs happily. With two 2GB modules installed (amounting to 4GBs of any mix of my four modules) Windows 7 crashes. The motherboard (apart from its four other empty DIMMs slots) has two DDR3 - dedicated slots. I now have to hand four identical and almost new Ballistix 2GB DDR 3 RAM modules. Of course, it could be a motherboard issue but this is a new Asus motherboard (a pretty acceptable brand, wouldn’t you say?) So how would you explain the following?

If you are experiencingĬrashing under those circumstances, it was from another cause < The 32-bit versions of Windows will not use more than the approximately 3.1GB I explained above, but Windows will not mind it being there.

> You can install more than 4 GB if your motherboard will accept it. Ken Blake, I bow to your superior knowledge of Microsoft’s strange little ways and thank you for confirming precisely what I wrote while translating my submission into “Microsoft Speak”. You have) and reduce what you have in total to below the 4GB limit. Now I do not assume that this is everyone’s problem but take my advice and explore your system’s RAM max capacity (aggregated with your graphics memory and any others Yours will too if you have more than 4GBs. When I totalled that up I was well over the 4GB limit and suddenly realised why my system was crashing. Yes, we all know that the max limit is 4GBs but no-one made it clear to me that this was 4GBs of memory INCLUDING any that I may have in other devices such as a graphics card. As soon as I pulled one out, the BSOD problem was cured – and it didn’t matterĪt this point I looked more seriously at the memory limitations of Win 7 and discovered something that, had I known all along, I would never have had a problem. So I decide to take out one memory module at a time to check which was faulty (both new of course). Mem Test – 86 but this crashed every time I booted from it. My first choice culprit was my memory DIMMs – 2 X 2GB Ballistix DDR3 modules – but the Windows memory test came up with no errors.

With every piece of software and hardware I’ve got checked andĬhecked again without a solution I reinstalled Win 7 Home Premium (three times). I followed every tech blogger’s advice and carried out vast numbers of suggested cures – all to no avail. I have been wasting an inordinate amount of time searching for a solution to my daily BSODs on a newly built PC based on an Asus P5QC motherboard and an Intel Core 2 Quad 2 QP9550 2.83 Ghz CPU. What I meant to do was post this possible solution:
