Does windows boot in safe mode?  When you say windows doesn’t boot, how far 
does it actually get?
If you run a memory checker does it come back all ok?  It could be that windows 
is loading something critical into a memory space that is faulty (since it is 
new ram) and maybe linux hasn’t yet hit that space.

Subject: [Linux-users] Can linux boot even when windows can not?


Upgraded my computer from 8gig to 16gig and suddenly from my duel boot, linux 
boots fine, windows 7 home premium does not.

Linux shows all 16gig available

can go back to old ram and boot up windows 7.

Bios shows all 16gig

Got ram in slots 1 and 3.

Is there something clever that linux does that allows it to boot?

Anyone else struck this same problem?
