After installation of two Kingston KVR800D2N5/2G my system start crashing. I noticed that it happens when free memory becoming equal 1.5Gb.
When removing one of them the system works fine.

Vista is working good. Gentoo's memtest found no errors.

Do you have any idea?

Crashes when total 4gb installed. Signature is old memory config, from which i'm upgrading (:

I found link to fix in your signature and trying it now.

Eah! All works fine. The fix solved the problem. (:

Field Note #1 @lanceomni 2008-12-21

Is your total memory installed 2GB, like your signature says, or did you add an additional 2GB?

Field Note #2 @lanceomni 2008-12-21

If Slashack's fix ↗ doesn't work it doesn't work you can limit your memory with the boot-flag maxmem.
