I have recently upgraded my RAM from 2 X sticks of 2GB to 2 x sticks of Corsair 4GB.
I am running W7 Home Premium.
When i fit both sticks, W7 will not start, but with one stick of the new RAM it will.
I have checked i have the RAM in the right slots.
Could it be the new RAM is 1600mhz and the old is 1333mhz?
I can also get W7 to start with 1 stick of new 4GB and 1 stick of the old memory = 6GB total.
I tested with 1 stick of new memory $GB plus 2 sticks of old 2GB = 8GB and W7 will not start.
So i am drawing a conclusion that my W7 just does not like above 6GB.
My Motherbard supports 16GB max over 4 slots (4GB per slot).
Any thoughts ?

Simon
