    Have you tested the ram modules, maybe one is bad? Try swapping and re seating.

    I think you need to discard the old 2+2 modules and get another Kingston of the exact same spec. Otherwise save for a full blown matched set of ram. You have a issue with using the two different types with this mobo.

    Your setting in Boot Advance Option are not correct.

    Example: No check marks.

It's funny, because ALL of my RAM was usable some time ago. (I have no idea how long ago this was, but it was on the same OS) I am using Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. I know about the whole 32-bit issue where some say you can't use much more than 3GB. Well, I WAS. I wouldn't be writing this...
