Hi All,
I am new so only picking my steps but hopeful that someone may be able to help.
I have just up graded the ram on my PC and Installed Windows 7 on a second harddrive. During install Windows would not finish installation. After two days of tearing my hair out I started stripping everything off the PC leaving only the bare essentials for running. This included removing one of the two sticks of Ram. Win 7 installed and is working perfect, duel booting with XP on two HDD's.
The problem, put the second stick of Ram back in XP boots and runs perfectly but reboot to windows 7 and it freezes on the startup screen. Take it back out and it works no problem.
I am hoping somebody has had this problem before and can help.
System is a Dell Optiplex GX 520
2 x gb Ram
2 HDD's 1 X 80GB & 1 X 320 GB
3.20 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 Processor
Both XP & 7 are 32 bit fully licenced editions
Thanks in Advance
