I run 32bit system, not 64. Lappy, not desktop. Nothing wrong, except windows 8 (!)
My 7 is more faster than your 8 for sure...

Not even close sheesh... Why did you install 32bit?

Why I Installed 32 bit is not the point and this was already explained
 
BUT here you will see why 64 is crap, here you can activate all memory you want with this bootkit. I DID IT !

I don't see why "64 is crap," or why, if you have an x64 compatible CPU you wouldn't just install that...  but whatever.

K, relatively new to this, but tried nevertheless. I run a 32bit  version of Windows 7, and want this due to the fact that it'll take me ages to reinstall everything I have on a clean x64 version (also, asides from memory, have no actual need for x64).
I followed the instructions start to end and encountered no errors whatsoever. I rebooted, chose the "All memory" option, and it seems to work fine (shows all 4GB now and though the lower right corner of the screen says "Test Mode Win7").
However, after a relatively short period of time, with little to no action on my part, I get BSODs stating either 'page fault in nonpage area' or 'PFN list corrupt'.
Memory was tested and is fine, and I have new drivers for everything as far as I can tell. Any ideas what might be screwing this up? Really want this to work...
 
Thanks in advance!

Why would I bother going backwards? Gosh then holy cow!!!! 16 bit or 8 bit must be FANTASTIC! Further your link does even hint using 64bit is crap or inferior. Because obviously native 64bit IS SUPERIOR. That's great you can use someone else's boot kit to trick 32 bit Windows into running SOME mode of 64 bit. Personally I'd just use the real deal and install 64 bit. Go ahead, make your day, use the real deal!

Probably a driver issue being mapped into the wrong or unexpected memory space. You can probably narrow it down by booting into safe mode and going into device manager and disable individual hardware and reboot. Start with say, your audio device, then Ethernet, etc etc until you find the one that doesn't cause a BSOD.

@HeavyHemi: Well, gave it a shot, but nothing seemed to make it more stable. Updated pretty much everything that I could find as well, but still getting BSODs.
Would that link posted by mikele59 (the one for downloading a bootkit) be of any use in this case? Or would that basically leave me in the same place that I'm already at with my unstable full memory "Test Mode"?

Sorry if this is old but, when i did this (after some common sense work around some problems) my computer's resolution is limited to 1600*1200 when the actual maximum is 1920*1080.  
How the heck do i fix this?
Oh and btw my computer specs:
Amd Phennom 2 x6 1055t @2.8 ghz
8gb ram (this is why i did this)
Amd radeon 4250 biult in graphics
Asus m4a88td-m

Have you tried reinstalling your GPU drivers, loshi?
