Hi all,
First of all - Hello
I used Tom's article about how to build a high end gaming machine and here I am now - Asus Extreme MB running (currently) 2x1 GB RA - Crucial Ballistix, Zalman cooler and 2x8800gtx running SLI mode naturally
I chose XP 64bit over Vista for all the normal reasons, plus I wanted to install 4GB RAM and I wanted the operating system to recognise it all, and yes I know that even on gaming you would be hard pushed to use all 4 GB but we all want to p*ss further than the next guy dont we?!
The problem that I had been getting was a blue screen and computer shutdown when running 4 meg RAM on XP pro 64bit. I went down to 2 GB and re-installed XP pro 64bit - which seems to have resolved the problem for now. So can anyone offer me any advice as to what might be causing the problem - your help would be much appreciated.
PS. I am not 'experienced' in these things - i think it is a miracle or good luck that I managed to get the PC running in the first place!
