I have an Asus P5KE, running with sig (everything at stock except northbridge voltage). It was running fine with 2Gb of ram, then I added another 2Gb. When I was surfing the web it just restarted (as though the power had gone; however it would then get stuck loading windows, and when I selected "start windows normally" it would reboot when the loading bar for vista appears, and repeat.

I have tried the combinations of new ram and old ram, all in different dimms; however as soon as the four dimms are full, the problem happens. Sometimes it manages to load into windows before it reboots.

I was aware that when using 2x2GB or 4x1Gb of ram you need to rasie the northbridge voltage, however when raised to 1.40 it still restarted; now at 1.55 (been stable for about 1 hour - although I think that is quite high?)

I'm using bios 1004

Any help is greatly appreciated
 
Yes the memory is set at 2.2, and thats good to know

Thanks

However on a seperate note, when I flashed my bios to 1004, I lost some of the features in the bios, such as voltage damper

Any suggestions?
