About this tag
The Dell Precision 670 is a workstation that users have reported issues with when upgrading memory while running Windows 7. In one case, upgrading to 8GB of PC3200 ECC registered memory caused the system to fail to boot Windows 7, even though the BIOS recognized the memory and the system booted fine from an alternate OS like Windows XP x64. Troubleshooting steps included verifying memory compatibility, checking BIOS settings, and attempting boot repair, but the Windows 7 installation was not detected. This highlights potential compatibility challenges with memory upgrades on older Precision workstations and dual-boot configurations.
