Dickens Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi, I am running gigabyte mother board EP41-UD3L with dual core intel cpu, and 2 x 2 gb CM2x2048-6400c5 ram. Windows 7 32 bit OS. I purchased further 2x 2gb ram (same as above,) but when I run with all 8gb installed the computer runs very slow and windows will close the computer" to prevent damage" or an windows error shows "that windows did not shut down correctly on last application and requires system check before restart". I am now back to 4gb config and have had no issues. Can you assist in running 8gb of ram. Thanks Rowley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Mixing of RAM is not recommended nor guaranteed to work per the Memory Upgrade Guide link in my signature. You can try slower latency timings and/or RAM frequency as you now have all four RAM slots populated and the memory controller needs a little more time to access data without errors.

John305 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi well to start with Windows 7 32 bit OS only supports 3 gig of ram. So to get to use 8 gig you will have to switch to the 64 bit version of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
