So you have two of these kits; 4 memory modules total?

Yes i do. I don't understand what the problem could be

Have you tried moving memory modules around? I would try putting two
modules in the A slots, and then remove them and try putting two
modules in the B slots. Have you tried using Memtest?

Second this.

I had a case where I was going fits with the memory and finally traced
it: I had modules of mixed speeds despite being labeled the same. The
board read the settings from the first one and used that. If it read
a slow one, fine. If it read a fast one the slow ones would be
unstable. I only pinned it down by playing with them one at a time.

I did try moving them around. it registers both of them. BUT in the
BIOS when I have 1 stick in it shows 2044MB of memory. When they are
both in it shows 4088MB of memory. It seems as if its only giving me
half of the memory that is labeled. I even tried messing with the DIMM
voltage. Still nothing.


Have you tried Paul's suggestion to try one stick in each of
the four memory slots? The symptoms you have are typical of
a bank failure.
