Hey guys, 1st post, I have been running around for the past 12 hours
trying to find out why my computer is the way it is. I had Vista 32 Bit
with 2 Gigs of RAM. Wanted to get 4 gigs


Why? Why did you think 4GB would improve performance or anything else?
It does for some people, but most won't see any difference.

Also note that you can install 4GB of RAM Under 32-bit Windows. It
won't use all of it, just something around 3.2GB, but that might be
sufficient for what you do.


and was told to upgrade to 64
Edition, I did. My Specs now are, Intel Quad 3.4Ghz, 8800GTX SLI, 4 Gigs
DDR2, Dual Hard Drives. My problem now is a ton of hardware now wont
install, my external HD Western Digital, Integrated Flash Card Reader,
etc. They wont run.


Very likely because you don't have the proper 64-bit drivers for them.
It's one reason why 64-bit Windows is a bad choice for many people.

Whether the proper 64-bit drivers are available for you, I don't know,
but you should check, and contact the hardware manufacturers.


Also I am afraid to turn off my computer now,
because every time it boots it BSOD's so I have to go to "Last Known
Good Configuration" I am completly out of ideas. I did "Mem-Test" no
problems on the RAM I got the latest version of my BIOS, and my MOBO is
an nForce 680I SLI. Please help me out guys, I really appreciate it.
