• Windows 7 x64 - CPU rape with 4GB of RAM, fine with one less stick
    16 replies, posted
After an extremely long installation of W7 Home Premium 64-bit (it took more than six hours), I decide to look on the Internet with my phone to see what's causing [url=http://twitpic.com/t0bou]the constant CPU rape[/url]. Turns out it's the RAM. I have seen a bunch of people recommending to enable "Memory Remapping" in one's BIOS to fix the problem — however, mine lacks such an option. Motherboard: MSI G31M3-L V2 CPU: an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 gHz RAM:2 x 2 GB DDR2 800 DIMM It's not really cool to give up on these precious two gigabytes of RAM, so does anyone have a solution?
6 hours is rather long.... Did you perform a fresh installation or an upgrade?
Run memtest86 and see if you get any errors.
Fresh installation, no memtest errors.
Have you tried unplugging and re-plugging the RAM? Could be just a bad connection

Have you tried plugging in one stick of ram at a time then check then try another and see if it happens.
You *could* (assuming the RAM worked flawlessly before you installed Windows 7) reinstall windows 7 and see if that helps, it's surprising how many issues can actually be resolved through reinstallations.

Try installing with only one stick in. Then once it is installed put in the rest.

Does it mess up when you have them in dual channel mode or not?
Are all sticks the from the same brand ? Make sure you put them in banks that have the same colour.
Is it detected as dual channel?
Same brand: Transcend. The slots are green and yellow (I only have two) No idea about Dual Channel, I think the RAM is though.

vga.sys looks like the standard display drivers. This thread may help you: [url]http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Windows-XP-Booting-Slower-NDProxy-SYS-t197363.html[/url]
