Re: M2N32-SLI Premium, BSOD with 4 GB RAM, fine with 2

On Thu, 06 Sep 2007 18:07:08 -0700, Bret <bpotter652@xxxxxxxxx> had a
flock of green cheek conures squawk out:

Hello,

I'm installing windows vista (yes, theres my first problem) on my new
M2N32 premium vista edition motherboard. I purchased 4 GB of corsair
DDR2 800 mhz RAM, the good stuff. When I try to boot to the vista CD,
it copies the files and then gives me a BSOD: the bios in this system
is not fully ACPI compliant.

Any suggestions? As I type this i have removed 2GB of RAM and I am
installing vista with the remaining 2GB in the computer, no problems
yet. I might try re-adding them after the install, and manually
setting timing and voltage in bios, I also downloaded the latest bios
upgrade.

Has anyone else seen this before?

Thanks,
Bret

Vista has an install bug with 4GB of memory.
