BSOD

[EC]

Hi there,
My board is ASUS P5K with 2 GB of RAM. Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit,
core 2 duo E6750 CPU. Recenly, I added 2 more GB of RAM and at the same time
I newly installed the Flight Simulator X (deluxe edition). The nightmare
begins... I got Blue Sreen of Death (BSOD) several times daily even I didn't
play the FSX. Please help.

Taike out the new RAM and see if it stops.

RAM must be the same, that more or less means exactly the same, don't
buy from a big store unless you buy all together as mostly they have no
idea what they are talking about. Ideally you want to order a matched
set, but usually buying all at the same time is close enough. Take out
one set of 2GB and see what happens.

I have an ASUS P5K SE with two sticks of 2 GB ram for a total of 4GB running
both Vista Ultimate x64 and Windows XP Pro.
I never see a BSOD. The processor is a Pentium D Dual core.

I have the P5K-E running 4x2GB (8GB) with no issues at all.

Thanks for the advice. After removal of 2 x 1 GB of RAM, it seems working
fine till now. Well, 4 sticks of 1 GB of RAM are same brand and model. Still
don't know why system crashed with 4 GB of RAM on board. Is it related to
32-bit OS???
