With a P5B-vm MotherBoard with 4 GB installed and either a PAE

in the BIOS (this is necessary to get above 3gb on the motherboard), my
system either crashes during boot or is very unstable (such as text from
the initial stages of the boot superimposed over the graphical x86_64
boot and the fan suddenly running at top speed and never stopping).
You have of course used memtest86 to check all that memory is good,
haven't you?
(Do I understand that with non PAE kernels the system is stable?)
This motherboard is said to work with a win64 system...
That doesn't imply as much as one might like.
Hope this helps,
James.
