What voltage is your memory running at? Out of the box is normally 1.8v your memory probably supports 2.1v (or maybe 2.2v). If you still have it at stock settings the first tyhing I would try is upping the voltage a notch to see if that helps (max voltage should be on a sticker on the module).

Alternatively it could be that one stick is faulty have you tried each individually?

Sounds like you`re running RAM voltage too low or you need to start upping (carefully) the voltage to northbridge. This is not uncommon when running with all four slots filled. You may find it useful to memtest all four sticks as well, just to check they`re not the problem.

its not 4 sticks, its 2 X 2gig sticks
