Not to sure what to do here, but heres the story I upgraded my ram about 3 weeks ago to 4 gigs. Computer is running slow and i get hit with a virus so i decide to reformat. For some reason, i wasnt able to format unless i took out this 2 gig stick. Everytime i tried to reformat, i always got blue screened. So I take the ram out and install windows 7, x64 and place the ram back in but the computer crashes and restarts every few minutes. The computer reads the ram as 4 gigs. Im currently in safe mode right now. Someone suggested taking out the new video card i installed so i did that but i still keep getting hit. What should i do????? | My System Specs |

What you might want to do is download the memtest iso and run the memtest to see if you have any bad sticks of ram. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Rig 1 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition @ 3.4GHz (AM2+) Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P (AM2+) Memory Corsair CM2X4096-8500C5 (4 X 2GB) Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD 5770 / Diamond Radeon HD 5770 CrossFireX Sound Card Asus Xonar DS (PCI) Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster 932bw+ (3) Screen Resolution 4320x900 Keyboard Logitech Desktop Wave Mouse Logitech LX8 Laser PSU Corsair CMPSU-750TX Case Cooler Master HAF 932 Cooling Corsair Hydro Series H50 Hard Drives OCZ Vertex 2 80 GB - Windows 7 System --

Are you sure your sticks are properly seated? And, are your sticks mis-matched? You state that you upgraded to 4 gigs and couldn't reinstall Windows until you took a 2 gig stick out--are you sure your motherboard is capable of using 4 gigs of memory? Also, as the previous posters stated, it would be beneficial to have your specs listed. Is this a computer you put together or store bought? I had a computer a friend wanted me to install ram in and it was a store bought computer. The motherboard was capable of handling 2 gigs of memory. I had some DDR2-533 memory laying around from an upgrade of mine a long time ago. The ram I had was double-sided and the ram originally installed in her computer was single sided. I installed my ram and the computer saw the ram as the correct amount. However, every single time I would boot into windows, it would BSOD. Went to Fry's Electronics and purchased some Kingston memory, 2 gig kit, single-sided, and there was no problem whatsoever after that. So again, are your sticks mis-matched and are you sure your motherboard can handle 4 gigs?
Please include your system specs...

You think this kind of ram is incompatible with my motherboard? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ACPI x64 based pc OS windows 7 CPU DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2100 MHz (10.5x200) 4000+ Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H v1 (2 PCI, 1 PCI-E x16, 2 DDR2 DIMM) Memory 2 GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4670 Sound Card realtek alc888 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Not to sure what to do here, but heres the story problems?
