Default Weird Ram???
I just attempted to build a system that is running 64bit windows vista (AMD dual core 3.0Ghz processor, Gigabyte 4 ram slot motherboard that supports supposedly up to 16 gb ram) and I purchased 2 g.skill pairs of ddr2 800 (mb compatable) ram so that I have 4 sticks, 1 GB each.

The problem is, I can run any three of the four, but when all four are in the slots, the computer won't even post!

Help please...

That mobo should be happy with your setup.

It could be that the RAM is not compatible for a number or reasons.

Latency, voltages...

Might be an idea to try 4GB of another brand if you can.

are you perfectly certain all the ram are exactly the same, as dave said it might be the voltage or latency but maybe you could try taking them out and putting them back in lol just a thought.

He did say any combination of the 3 of 4 does it so it is more a case of having 4 in total rather than any of the 4 being different or faulty.
