Hello, first of all i'm using an 32 bit os (windows7) and i wanted to know is it possible that my pc won't boot up when i'm have installed 4 gb ram because the 32 bit support only up to 3.25? currently i have 3 gb of ram and i thought mby that's the problem

You should be fine as Windows will only use about 3 GB of RAM. The rest won`t be used.

It would still start up. Your ram is mixed and matched ram I assume. That is most likely causing your issues. When adding ram, it should always be the exact same ram. Same timings, same voltages, and same brand is recommended for the least amount of issues.
well it won't boot up when i have installed both the ram sticks, now i use the 2 gb stick and another 1 gb stick which makes it ofc 3, i have tried to do configure all those stuff in the bios but it seems it doesn't help, would be nice to have those 4 gb of ram, also do you guys recommend that i install the 64 bit os? besides the gaming point, would i see any major improvements?
