1000 gold to the answer that works

[fenral]

i need to get a bios update for my pc its a acer m5100-u5300a or tell me what i need to do to get it to work with more then 3 gigs of ram i have 6 i want ot run in it a apir of 2 2 gig sticks and a pair of 2 1 gig sticks so come on all u pc gurus and make a easy 1000 gold

[xeonyn]

what kind of RAM do you have? the highest that Motherboard will hold is PC2-5300, DDR2-667 with a max of 2GB per stick, but if they're higher, they should still run at the highest the Mobo will handle

[fenral]

they are 2 gig stick spc2-8500 cl5 240 pin dimm kit\



here is the the number on the box and tyhey are kingston khx8500d2k2/4getr

[fenral]

one stick of it runs jsut fine but when i put 2 in or anything over 3 gigs it wigs out to a blue screen of this stuff wont work u are a doush bag u should punch urself in the face i hate that screeen

[Gnommi]

In order to use more than 3g of ram, you will need to be running a 64bit version of windows. Thats it.

[fenral]

i am i have win 64 bit

[Gnommi]

You can install it, and it shouldn't blue screen you, but you cant actually use it without a 64 bit version

[fenral]

it wont it hates me everythign that i have found bout the same thing that is happening to me everyone is saying that my pc need a bios update

[Gnommi]

Is that win7?

[fenral]

yup

[Gnommi]

Acer m5100 is a manufacturer of the computer you have. What is the motherboard that is in it? Once you have that, you can find the bios upgrade.

It still sounds to me like you have memory installed that will not work in your system. Also, you have to be sure that you have 2 sticks of the same memory in each pair of dimm slots. You cant slot different memory together.

[fenral]

acer is the manufact the numbers i listed is the model and i have twein stick but only one will owrk at a time and i can get only up top 3 gigs to let windows load i can get all 6 gigs to register on bios and in windows safe mode

[Mundin]

Soak your video card in a vat of mayo for two days.

[xeonyn]

if it works in safe mode, then it's probably one of the Drivers that you are loading in normal windows, maybe the Motherboard's Chipset Drivers?

Other than that, find the same model on Acer's website and there should be a Bios download, that's usually the most recent one

[arcanass]

sounds like your computter needs a new mother board that is expandable and most package comps are not built to be expanded.

[Skiloc]

Ok fen not sure if this will help but u can definatly update your bios here

[xeonyn]

one more thing you might wanna try (if you haven't already) is there a setting in the BIOS possibly to turn off Dual Channel for the RAM? Usually it's on by default but sometimes it's just automatic...

[Digitalxl]

The best way to approach this is to provide us / me with a spitout of your system. To do this, I'll need you to load up windows and goto start-> Run and type dxdiag then then hit ok.

This will go through your system and provide all information regarding it; Bios, memory, CPU, Videocard, drivers, DirectX version, etc.

Provide the text file that it generates here.

About that bios, that's a custom Bios from Phoenix Awards, and I don't believe there is one for your specific system.

according to the Acer website, you have to contact the Customer Support for any BIOS problems, and if you do, i would say just get to the point, and tell them you need a BIOS upgrade, and to GIVE IT!
