but in order to do that, I need to have only the 2 GB installed. That kind of defeats the purpose, no?

Did ur comp come w/ restore CD's? My dad comp is vista, but i dont tinker around w/ it, so ill tell u how to do it in XP style stuff:

Put in ur Restore cds before u shutdown ur comp, the comp may ask you for something just close it though. Shut down ur comp then upon the restart get into the bios. Once in go to boot order and change it to the CDROM thing. Save ur changes and exit, then a msg should pop up asking for u too press any key to continue, press the 'v' key to boot up and windows should install. BTW u can press any key really i was just really bored so i put that in there.

If u dont have ur RESTORE CDS, u need to get a retail, or OEm, or Restore CDs, these can be bought, but even though ur recoveryl Cds maybe only $15, remmeebr if u put them into another comp, they wont work, u would need ur mobo to get tatooed, which i tried at bestbuy. but they couldnt do it, and they took my damn $30 w/p refund because there is no refund for service charges.

U can buy ur Recovery Cds on the website of ur comp manufacturer. if u post up ur comp we can help u get the link.

btw wish me googluck on studying for my spanish test

Yeah, I've tried booting up from the CD. But this is basically what happens.

With 2 GB installed, I can do whatever I want, nothing goes wrong.

Problem is, with 4 GB installed, if I boot up from the CD, it loads windows files, gets to 100%, and BSOD tells me that my hardware is screwed up. All 4 GB are the same thing, they are dual channel, and the one set of 2 works fine alone, and the other set of 2 works fine alone, but all 4 don't want to work together.
