I tried that, instant beeping
did you try all slot combinations? 1 and 2, 1 and 3, etc.?
maybe try each stick one at a time to rule out whether or not it is one of the sticks.
4 Gigabytes of Ram (2 Usuable)

Probably not. Occasionally bad RAM will look like it's working but you'll get random blue screens from time to time or it may fail to boot. I have a Dell laptop that shipped with bad RAM, if I left if off for any amount of time it didn't like to boot up but once it finally did start up the first time it was good.

hey man, Ive never touched any of the voltages before and they worked, You can see the screen shot on the first page... Ill try to change them to 1.65 , id be suprised if that works.... maybe ill try the cmos battery when I get home , Im going to the Union game tonight so I doubt I will have time
I don't know what you've tried.
Above you said you'll try running each stick individually, what was the result? Have you tried moving the RAM to different slots and again, what was the result? Without knowing what you have and haven't done, what worked and what didn't it's hard to suggest anything else of value.
A generic first guess would be to grab some new RAM and see if it works or if possible, try the RAM in a different motherboard. If it works (or the new RAM doesn't work in your board) then you may need to replace your motherboard. And keep going from there. Eventually you'll either figure out the problem or have replaced all your hardware

Windows tells you how much RAM it sees. If things like onboard video or physical address limits prevent some from being seen then Windows will report less.
