BSOD

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.

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.

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???
