CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * Your computer has more than 4 gigabytes of RAM.
 * Your Boot.ini file does not contain the /pae switch



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, add the /pae switch to your Boot.ini file. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Run.
 * 2) Type  :\boot.ini, where is the drive letter of the location of the boot files.
 * 3) Type /pae at the end of the line that corresponds to your operating system.
 * 4) Save the file, and then restart the computer.



MORE INFORMATION
When you install Windows, Setup automatically adds the /pae switch to your Boot.ini file when it detects more then 4 gigabytes of memory. Therefore, the symptoms described in this article may occur only under the following circumstances:
 * After you install your operating system, you add memory so that your total installed memory exceeds 4 gigabytes.
 * You manually edit your Boot.ini file to remove the /pae switch.
