I was running an Intel Core 2 duo E6750 on a Gigabyte P35DS3R m/b with 2gb Corsair 8500C DDR2 and Windows 7 Pro 32bit and a Gigabyte 9600GT graphics adapter. Recently I upgraded to an Intel i930 on an Asus P6X58D-E m/b with 6GB DDR 3 Kingston 2000 HyperX RAM and a Gigabyte 1536M graphics adapter and kept [temporarily] the Windows 7 Pro 32bit OS. I intend to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64bit within a few days, after doing some "house cleaning" on my HDD's!
My problem is that it is almost impossible to run the memory at anything above 1066Mhz as the system then refuses to boot. My question is "Is running the DDR3 memory [which I understand is 64bit] causing my problems or is there something within the bios that is affecting the system"? Being somewhat amateur the BIOS settings, currently default, are almost arcane to me so not sure if or what I should, perhaps, change.
Help from any knowledgeable person would be greatly appreciated.
