There is a known problem with Kalyway (and iAtkos too) where some motherboards have crashing problems with 4GB or more of RAM. I had crashing problems when copying large amounts of data between drives, using a 76GB iPhoto library, and using other big programs. There are a few threads on this forum talking about potential fixes - including AHCI enable or using a MAXMEM statement on bootup. I use maxmem to limit my RAM to 3456MB and I have no more crashing.

radov4n Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I am running P5K (ICH9, 603 BIOS, board has no AHCI) and 3456 or say 3072 didn't work for me, had to remove 2 sticks, so running 2GB. So far so good. I hear that there are old BIOSes for P5K and P5KC which support AHCI. One such BIOS is 406. You could try reverting to that BIOS through ezFlash and enabling AHCI... but you will of course loose two of your SATA ports. I am pretty sure it should work, I just haven't had time to try it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
