    Hello everyone,

    I recently installed 4 GB memory in my W2W (A-DATA DDR2 667, PC2 5300, Dual Channel Kit) anticipating a fresh install of a retail 64 bit Windows 7, the home premium edition. I bought a new Western Digital Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT 320GB 7200 RPM drive for the occasion as well. Everything went along fine with the installation until the screen resolution changed from VGA to the native 1920X1200 resolution and then BANG! BSOD! (Blue Screen Of Death) my W2W never recovered and wouldn't even boot into the safe mode anymore. I did a memory check and it passed with flying colors. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? Or has anyone successfully installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on their W2W?
