I am upgrading the hardware on my nt server, precisely, memory. I am doubling the memory. Of course this causes a memory dump and the system doesn't boot up. I know there is a way to upgrade the memory and or the cpu and still have a functioning OS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. ---rick!

Need more information, ie Which NT version, which SP, type of server, # of CPU's, etc???

This is the first time I've heard of upgrading the memory causing NT to lock up and crash. Could it be bad memory??

Upgrading only the memory,then check the memory to make sure that it is the same and not mixed, and of the same type otherwise check the manufacturer site of the board to see what specs are for memory and maximum amount of memory to be installed.
