Value Select DDR on Gigabyte K8NS Pro

Hello,

I have a problem with Corsair memory and my NForce 3 mobo.

Currently, my Pc (Gigabyte K8NS Pro, Athlon 64 3000 sk 754, Radeon 9550, Maxtor Dmax 9 IDE, 512 megs vdata DDR 400 CL3 single sided, XP SP2 fully patched) has only 521 megs of ram.
I bought another stick from vdata (double sided, CL2.5) but the system hang during POST.
I brought back the stick and got a different one, again from vdata (single sided, CL2.5) and the machine booted but frozen just after logging in in XP.

I decided to replace the memory and I purchased 2*512 megs of ValueSelect.
I flipped them in the machine (after removing the vdata module) and the system frozen after logging in in XP.
I rebooted, entered in safe mode and I had no problems.
Reboot in normal mode resulted in freezing XP.
Using only one stick there are no problems.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Mik
