Hi All, System spec is GA-P35-S3 (rev 1) MB, E6750 CPU. Memory - Corsair CM2X1024 - 6400C4 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 2.1v. I just upgraded the Video card and since memory is so cheap I got another 2Gb Memory kit exact spec as current. After installing system won't boot up. The memory is not faulty as a have swapped around in slots but can't get system to boot with more than 2Gb installed. Do I need to go into the Bios and make some changes? And if so what do I need to do. O/S is Win XP 32bit.
Any help is appreciated.. :??:

Assuming that everything was working fine, and your original memory was set OK, the only change that should be required is to go into the "MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)" page of the BIOS, set "System Voltage Control" to "Manual", and "(G)MCH OverVoltage Control" to "+0.1V" - that'll usually take care of four sticks of RAM; on occasion, it's a little harder to get 4x1 running than 4x2; if that's the case, bump it up another tenth...
