Hello everyone, hope this is in the correct category.
Recently I upgraded my RAM from 1gb to 4gb (removed the 1gb stick and installed 2x2gb). The RAM is fully compatible with my motherboard but when I try to boot to Vista I get a BSOD "the bios in this system is not fully ACPI compliant". My bios has options S1 and S3 and I have tried both with no success. BIOS fully recognizes my memory and I have ran multiple memory tests and they have all passed. I have Linux Ubuntu and it loads fine and sees all 4GB installed. I have done a lot of searching for this problem and someone recommended I remove my PCI-e Geforce 8500 card. I disabled the PCI-e in bios and used the on-board graphics and the computer boots PERFECTLY with the 4gb and runs with no problems at all but I lose my good GeForce. SO....the memory is obviously compatible. The Video card is obviously compatible because I have used it for almost a year. I have the newest version of BIOS. I can’t understand this problem. I have tried changing every setting in BIOS with no avail. For some reason the new memory and my video card are clashing? There must be a fix for this but I can’t seem to figure it out. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this. BTW here are my system specs: Windows Vista 64-bit Ultimate SP1 with all updates Intel DG31PR desktop board Intel Core 2 DUO E6550 4GB Kingston 240 pin DIMM NVidia GeForce 8500 GT |

Try just one of the new sticks, then try the other(s), might single one out.

I have tried that, i have even tried different brands. The memeory works, ran memtest86 and it works fine when i dont have my PCI-e enabled. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'd try a CMOS reset.
