I have just install 4GB RAM (upg form 2 GB) and my vista ultimate x64 stops booting
When I remove 2 modules it boots again strange. I thought that the new modules are bad, but it doesn't matter which modules I use - when it is only 2 modules in : vista boots, when they are 3 ore 4 it doesn't ;
There comes interesting part: when I try to reinstall vista, booting from DVD, the error message comes:
I have searched around for this problem: some say that I have to disable ACPI function in BIOS to resolve this issue, the problem is that when I disable this in BIOS the PC did not POST ( I can disable ACPI in BIOS if there are only 2 modules of RAM). Although I am sure that this is not memmory problem I run memmory test and there were no errors;
Since it is not memmory failure I think that the problem is something else.
Anyone with similar problem, please help ?
I'll appreciate any ideas that might solve this issue.
thanks in advance!

...but if I remove 2 modules of ram, suddenly it becomes ACPI compliant and vista setup is proceeding normally;your system is not fully ACPI complaint
