Windows 2003 Standard server reboots with 4GB RAM

by ajpsa . Updated 17 years ago

Hi

I have a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition server which runs perfectly with 2GB of ram.

I need to upgrade it to 4GB as users are complaining that it is getting slower (Its a terminal server)

When I add an addition 2 x 1 GB DIMMS(identical to the original 2 right down to the batch number ….)the bios recognizes the 4GB but Windows gets as far as the splash screen and then the server reboots.

I’ve tried replacing the motherboard ( Intel S5000PSL) and the memory but I get the same result.

Any ideas?

Antony
