The problem arises when modules are paired (slot 1 and 3 i.e.). I want to try not to pair them. But could be a problem of the slots themselves

However on most motherboards and I am not sure about yours if there are more than two slots the memory has to be installed in the correct slots when paired. If not there can be subtle to major problems. I have even had one motherboard that would not recognize that a second chip was in until it was in the correct slot. I have several computers running Windows 7 Enterprise most with 4GB of Ram, but a couple with 12GB of Ram and so far the only problem is one shutting down. It seems to go to an all green screen when told to shut down some of the time. However that one is 32 Bit, and only has 1.5GB of Ram. It performs most of the shutdown functions but instead of actually powering off the screen goes green and the power stays on. -----Original Message----- From: HELP_PC [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 12:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: R: Weird Windows 7 64 bit issue Probably is due to MB not supporting 2+2 GB completely. The machine is OK with just one module (no matter which one of the 2) in any slot GuidoElia HELPPC ________________________________ Da: Silvio L.

To rule out if it is something in the characteristics of the modules, or the amount of RAM that the motherboard/OS is not liking... ----- Original Message ----- From: HELP_PC <mailto:[email protected]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 8:10 AM Subject: R: Weird Windows 7 64 bit issue I don't think they will give support for Windows 7 on that old machine (2 years).

Mem check didn't report any error as the OS event viewer that sees the reboot as unexpected.. The strange thing that if I remove one of the 2 modules (it doesn't matter which one) the issue disappears. Any idea ?
