I recently built a system with a KT600 Dragon Plus v2.0 and an AMD
Athlon 2500+ CPU. I used a single 512MB stick of Kingston PC3200 RAM
for several days, with no problems. I bought and installed a second
(identical) stick of RAM. The PC booted and Windows XP (Control
Panel/System) acknowledged the 1024MB of memory. Soon afterwards, I
got a blue screen of death (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA). Each time I
would re-boot, this failure would occur again. I then tried all
possible one & two stick combinations in the two available DIMM sockets
and found the following:
(1) I can use either of the 512MB sticks alone and everything is fine.
(2) If I fill both sockets, I either can't boot or crash shortly after
booting.
I tested the two sticks separately with memtest86 and discovered no
errors.
Any ideas?
