Hi all,
I have an issue with an upgraded system using a DFI NF Ultra 11 motherboard
and 3GB of RAM. Vista simply will not boot, either from the default
installation or from the CD. If I allow Vista to boot normally (or via the
CD) it will only get to the initial black screen with the time line bar at
the bottom, yet the bar will never show and the machine will just hang. If I
boot the default installation in safe mode I get different BSOD stop messages
such as 0x1000000a.
My first instinct was that the memory was faulty, however, I ran Windows
memory diagnostic and Memtest86+ with no issue. I then booted into Windows XP
(on another partition) which registered the 3GB of memory and ran Prime95
also with no issue.
Anyone have any further thoughts or ideas of how I might further test the
memory full in XP.
Thanks
Chris
