Vista x64 BSOD Issue

Hi, I've been searching and trying solutions for a while now, but I hav
to get this computer back to the grad student soon and I'm running ou
of options.

I'm getting a stop code 0x0000001A when trying to boot/install Vista.

System:
OS: Vista Enterprise x64
Computer: Dell Optiplex 745
RAM: 4GB

Issue:
I'm having trouble running Vista x64 with 4GB of ram. I tried t
install Vista with 4GB of ram, BSOD. I take two sticks out (doesn'
matter which two) and try again, installs perfect. I reinstall the 2G
of ram, BSOD. We have SP1 already installed and I updated everythin
before reinstalling the other 2GB of ram. This problem reminds me o
when I had to install with 2GB of ram on my personal machine, then d
the hotfix, then reinsert the other 2GB of ram. They supposedly fixe
that with SP1 though.

Things I have tried:
Tested the ram thoroughly with Memtest86, Memtest86+, Dell Diagnosti
Disc and PC-Check. All report that the ram is working fine.

Tested the whole system with Dell Diagnostic Disc (All but th
interactive ones). Reported ok.

Swapped the power supply with another Optiplex 745, same issue.

Updated the bios to the latest version for Vista x64.

Reseated all connections on the motherboard.

Run chkdsk /r.

Reinstall multiple times.

Tried installing that "Installing with 4GB" hotfix, but it doesn'
apply to this machine. (I assume because I already have SP1 installed

Notes
This is the first time I have run into this issue after installing thi
on multiple other campus machines. I want to say it is a motherboar
issue, since this is one of the first Optiplex 745s we purchased and th
newer ones (with different motherboard revisions) don't seem to hav
this issue

If anyone has any ideas or has solved this issue, please help me out

Hi,

Have you tried manually reducing the memory timing?
