hi, I have a Gigabyte GA-8IPE775-G mobo, P4 3ghz, Vista and 4GB of
Zepplin DDR400 ram...the system runs fine on 2GB ram but as soon as I
install 4 gb of ram it boots but once booted..after about 1 min it blue
screens and reboots...anyone got any ideas??

I was thinking it is requiring a bios update but did this and no
change! I tried the chipset update but no luck..it still reboots when I
install 4gb of ram.

Ive memtest all modules seperate and all fine.

ok, 550w PSU in, didnt BSOD so early but eventually did...it was the
IRQL Not Equal... one this time..not getting the emmory manager one...

It runs fine with 4 gb ram in safe mode without a hitch!

all BSODs are related to HDD or OS corruption.
try running a checkdisk to check if there's any bad sector.
in safe mode try uninstalling the VC driver, and disabling all startup
items on the msconfig.

It's a known bug with VIsta.
Install Vista with 2GB, and get eveything running OK
Then do windows update and get Vista up to date.
Then put your other 2GB in and you should be ok, as the updates contain a hotfix for the problem.
As for motarola2 and his "all BSODs are related to HDD or OS corruption", some people shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects.
