Ballistix Ram Blue Screen

I have a computer that I built about a year ago. I have a 780i mobo and 4 sticks of Crucial Ballistix 1gb RAM. Today I reformatted my hard drive and started getting blue screened when trying to boot. I narrowed the problem down to my RAM. I had this problem before when I started building it and took it to GeekSquad and they said it had to do with putting the RAM in the right slots. I put the sticks of RAM in the exact slots that they had them but still getting the blue screen. During the boot on the black screen it says 4 DIMMs not supported. I now have 2 sticks in and it boots fine but if I try for 3 or more it will blue screen. Does anyone know why this might be and what I can do to fix it? I'm a total newbie if you can't tell.

Thanks
 
DCIScouts, thanks for your reply. I switched the ram around and it still booted. Does this mean the ram is ok? If so, could it be something worse like my mother board or something?
