System frozen at the Windows logo following RAM installation.
You've tried several fixes but nothing seems to resolve the issue. Your system behaves differently depending on how many RAM sticks you install—only one works, two cause a BIOS startup screen, and even changing voltage or using a recovery USB doesn't help. The problem might be related to compatibility, BIOS settings, or hardware conflicts. Since your old RAM works fine, it's possible the new sticks are not properly seated or have a mismatch. Consider testing with a different motherboard or consulting a professional for further diagnosis.
It really depends on the specific DDR2 sticks you choose and the motherboards or processors you're using. Sometimes there can be compatibility issues where the memory controller needs a slight adjustment in voltage—like tweaking the CPU or NB voltage settings on certain boards. For instance, with the M3A32 MVP Wifi Deluxe App Solo, this might be relevant. Good luck!
