Hi Peter,
I will check the BIOS firmware. I haven't tried that yet.
I'm running FreeBSD 9-RELEASE-p3. Yes it is AMD64.
I ran memtest on the first 32 gb or memory where the machine was initially
stable. Once I put over 64 GB in, I can't get the machine to stay up for
long enough to even try.

please also check IPMI-Firmware since IPMI controlls memory refresh etc.
Should be 2.50.

Hi Erich,
Why would the power supply be suspect since the machine is perfectly stable
with 64 GB of memory in it?
The server won't stay up long enough to run memtest.

Test the new memory by itself, keeping at or below the 64 GB
you know works. Then you will know if the board is happy with the
new memory or not.
If the mainboard supported configurations allow, test all slots
while keeping

This pretty well clears FreeBSD then. As others have suggested, I'd

because the machine needs more electricity with the extra modules. If it is at

Hi Andy,
Sounds to me like you have 1) a flakey board, 2) the memory is not
identical. We never use kingston for a variety of reasons, but you
really should see if the part numbers are identical. The timings on the
drams is critical. I would never mix capacities. 3) Make sure the memory
is all
