    /PAE needs to be in the boot.ini, not /3GB, or IncreaseuserVA

    You have 32 GB of memory in that machine. If you add the /3GB, you will limit the total addressable memory (the max amount that Windows can see and use) to 16GB. Since I'm sure you don't want to make half the memory unusable, not /3GB. You need /PAE in boot.ini

    Yes, locked pages in memory is required
