Won't start after RAM upgrade
Greetings
After a bit of fun today I got Windows 7 loaded to my system, upgraded from XP. I was running it with an Athlon 64 X2 6000 with 2gb Abit ram and everything was running just fine. Then I decided to install the Corsair XMS 2 2gb sticks that I just bought last week. I reboot and I get to the Starting Windows screen and it just hangs there frozen like a side of beef. I thought well, maybe it's the RAM so I put my original Abit sticks back in there and added a couple of 1gb sticks I'd just removed from the wifes pc after putting Corsair in hers. No luck again.
Is there anything I can do to check if windows just doesn't like my RAM? It shows up just fine in the BIOS but windows just isn't liking it.
