After 2.5 weeks of owning my XPS M1330 with 2GB of memory I decided to upgrade the memory to 4GB. While the Dell BIOS shows 4GB of memory installed Vista refuses to boot up, and does a blue screen of death showing a memory dump occurring.

 

If I keep the 4gb of memory installed Vista keeps dumping the memory, and restarting.  So to work around this vista issue I pulled one of the 2GB memory sticks out, and put one of the 1GB Dell memory sticks into it to get 3GB of memory. With 3GB of memory I can get Vista to boot up, & use my laptop again.

 

Since my laptop is still very much new I'm leaning towards doing a fresh install of vista with the 4GB of memory installed. I also heard there is a memory program on the Dell DVD that came with the laptop which I plan to try out first.

 

Anyone else had this issue?
