OS Prob with ASUS M3A78-EM, AMD X2 6000+ & 2x2Gb DDR2 RAM

[boomstation2]

Hello Friends,

I have recently bought Asus M3A78-EM and Amd Athlon x2 6000+ with 2x2Gb Kingston 800Mhz DDR2. & W.D 320Gb Sata hdd.

As it is suggested that 32-bit Windows will show only 3 Gb RAM (..given in Mobo Manual), I tried to install 64-bit Windows Vista. But i am facing the problem of booting the O.S. Only few times i was able to go thorugh all the basic installations properly, there after the O.S hangs on during the boot (loading) Window only.

Note.
*O.S starts in safe mode but as soon as i restart for normal mode, same prob occurs.

*I have tried with 64-bit Windows XP also, same problem occurs.

*RAM has been installed in 2 sockets as given in mobo manual.

Can anyone highght on what the problem might be, Is the problem with RAM or anything else ?

Awaiting for ur expert comments. Thanking You.

Remove RAM one by one and test. Sometimes the problem lies with a single RAM module.
