i recently upgraded my computer, new motherboard, quad core processer, two new 1`tb hd and a better video card. i reused my 4 gigs of ram. now when i go to start, the windows vista 32 bit loading screen comes up but then the computer restarts itself automatically, i put the windows vista disc in and tried a repair, now i get an blue error screen that reads
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
*** STOP: 0x0000000A (0xD8576F2E, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x888BA8D7)
i ran the memory diagnostic and it said i had a hardware malfunction
is ti because i am running too much ram? i first tried with the full 4 then i pulled a stick so i am down to 3 but it still does it? should i pull another and go down to 2? its worth noting that i have a copy of vista ultimate 64bit coming in the mail and i intended on formatting everything and doing a clean install, i just wanted to check the function of the computer.
