BSOD during boot

Morthoseth · 18 Dec 2007 at 20:08

Installed vista on my new build, it gets through POST and gets to the windows loading screen, and the second it dissapears i get a BSOD, so fast that i cant read it before it restarts.

I've reinstalled twice now thinking it was an installation problem but aparantly not.

Any suggestions? No chance i can get to the desktop

Ok, it boots with just two sticks in.

How do i get it to work with all 4gb?

All set to Auto in my bios, guess i'll have to play manually!

Well the corsairs are said to run at 5-5-5-15, and unsure on voltage - what would you slacken those to?

Dominator 8500

Tried them at 5-5-5-15 and same BSOD (2.2v)
Tried them at 6-6-6-16 and same BSOD (2.2v)
Tried them at 7-7-7-18 and same BSOD (2.2v)

Not going so well for me, i even tried lowering the FSB and still BSOD..

But it boots perfectly with only two sticks in

Thanks for that mate, lowered it to 667mhz and still BSOD

Perhaps 4 sticks wasnt worth it from the start!
