I just got some more ram for xmaas and it's the same exact kind as the other stick in my machine. If i try to slap it in and boot up 2k, I get an error saying that i'm missing a file caled ntoskrnl or that it's corrupt and I should reinstall this file. This doesnt seem to be a prolem when i take the second stick out.
What i tried was setting the bios to boot from a cd first and popped in the 2k cd to try and fix the corrput files. No good, I get an error saying remove any recently installed hardware and restart thecomputer so I do and that fixes the problem but I'd like my ram to work. I need to play me some call of duty!
Does anyone know what I should do? Some reccomend boot disks and what not but i got no idea whats going on with that. So does anone know what to do?
EDIT: Ok this is kinda weird. I just changed around where the sticks were *one on the left and one on the right, middle is empty) and for some reason this gives me different results. I can boot up and get to the windows is loading (with the little blue bar just going, not the actual loading screen in black and white) and then it'll either restart, or go a little bit then restart. During this whole thing, my HDD light is also on. And now for some reason, my cd drive isnt even recognized in the bios. What the hell is up with my computer?
And on some random occasions I get a different sort of blue screen and it's still telling me i need to reinstall the ntoskrnl. This screen usually comes right after the windows is loading (the colored) screen.
