To-day I will try to run 4 gyg and will get back to you on how it works.
Past experience tells me that problems can occur when mixing brands and/or one company vs another.
Try going back to original and then try what I have done 2.5 gyg.and see if it is not the chip sets.
If I can run 2.5 gyg, 4 should be no problem.
I know you said you were careful in installing but look at pin set one more time.

The problem Keith is not with 2.5GB, it's with 4. That is specifically the issue. Some are able to boot from BIOS with the 4gb full (in xp reading as 3gb or 3.5gb) but then system crashing ensues soon afterward. My comp will show motherboard manufacturer logo and start to display post/edit bios options and then hang. Just to clear up any compatibility issues, I purchased 2 twin 2gb sticks brand new. They were made milliseconds after each other by the same company =) Each work and register 2gb individually but when combined no luck. Each works with the original 512 stick as well. I suppose I will be calling Acer as well but i expect the same answer as the original poster. It may be stuck with the 2.5. Eventually I may try a vista install to see if it's an OS issue but I highly doubt it is since it won't POST, which is way before the OS tries to load.
