Hello everyone. I would appreciate some help with this if anyone can. It is a little complex. I am running a dual boot system on a gigabyte b85m-ds3h mobo with two HDDs. One HDD has a 32 bit win7 and one has a 64 bit win 7. So I upgraded my RAM from Kingston 4GB by adding ADATA PC3-12800 which is an 8GB 1600 DDR. Nothing worked so I swapped out the Kingston with the Adata and the following happened (so only the ADATA 8GB is in the box):
The 32 Bit OS boots up with 8GB of RAM showing (I known only c.4GB usable). The 64 bit OS wont boot up at all. I get the following messages on the 64 bit boot status 0xc000000e and the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. I know a pretty useless warning. However, the RAM does show correctly in the BIOS. So I really am a bit stumped.
I cannot work out why but I guess I need to do a CMOS reset. Issue is that I cant find a BIOS option for this and I really dont want to mess with the hard reset options, if such a thing exists, on the mobo in case it stops my 32 bit OS from working. I did though load optimized defaults in the BIOS, but no results. Googling around tells me that most people think this cannot happen but it is. Can anyone provide any advice?
