Hey guys, I'm troubleshooting a computer for a buddy of mine. the issue his he recently upgraded the ram in his system fro 4 gbs to 8 gbs and its ddr2 ram. here is the issue though with the new ram. his system will only load windows with 1 stick of ram installed, but works fine with his old ram which Kingston hyper-x, not sure of the brand of his new ram.
the thing is there is no bios beeps and I can get into bios and the machine acts like it wants to load, but when it tries to load windows the computer either hangs or reboots itself.
his specs are an asus mvp deluxe am2+ motherboard, amd phenom 9850 cpu quad core, 800 watt psu, radeon 5850 gpu, sound blaster sound card,2 hard drives and 2 optical drives. His old ram which works is Kingston hyper x. I don't know what the new brand is though, im at work and I cant check it is ddr2 though.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
