memory problem
I am running windows 7 and I have four DDR2 memory slots each with a capacity of 2gb. Since installing Win 7 I have increased the memory from 2 x 1gb to 2 x 2gb with 2 spare slots.
I am trying to install a further 2 x 2gb of identical memory in each of the 2 spare slots but when I boot up about 30 seconds later the machine crashes - no blue screen, a simple lock up.
When I remove the 2 extra memory leaving the existing 2 x 2gb in place the machine boots up and runs normally. Any ideas why adding the extra memory causes a crash?
