Hi,

I recently had a shop install an extra 512x2 into my computer ( I suck with hardware). They were Kingston modules. Now my computer has a total of 512x4 (2gb of ram). However, after the installation there was a lot of crashing. Sometimes it occurred during high memory usage, yet once it crashed just as Windows started up. Sometimes it just crashed, sometimes a half second of sound would repeat 20 times then crash. By crash I mean it rebooted the computer. Just as if I had pressed restart. Except by itself.

Since my computer co. (Gateway), had an option to reinstall windows but backup your harddrive to a "My Backup" folder in the new OS, I reinstalled windows. I thought the problem had gone away but after a while - I heard the familiar repeating half second of soun, but instead of rebooting, it went to a blue screen of death, with the following words:

DOes anyone know what it means?

Remove the new RAM you installed and see if the error repeats. That error says that win32k.sys tried to do something that execute disable bit prevents.
