BSOD on Windows Loading Screen

FrannoBaz · 23 May 2007 at 15:42

Crucial Ballistix PC6400C4 4x1GB BSOD on windows loading screen... sometimes if i change the BIOS settings to "Auto" from them being on a manual setup it boots.... But most of the time if i just leave them on Auto it doesnt boot.... all modules work 100% - Ive tested them all... I just need stable settings.

Mobo = P5N32-E Sli
RAM = Crucial Ballistix PC6400C4 1GB Modules x 4
OS = Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit

p.s if i set the voltages to manual and all the timings etc... It freezes on the "AI Lifestyle" BIOS coverup screen.... and the keyboard doesnt work..

does it work if you reset all the settings? if not try taking out the cmos battery to enable it to be reset, i updated my bios by dl the latest revision straight from the Asus website and putting it on my mp3 player (h300) i then updated it from the bios screen.
