Compatiblity problem, yank out the 2x128, install only the 2x256
sticks and see what happens. You need to change your name, forum rules are against cursing,,I dont care myself, but Im just warning you...

Ok, same thing, take out the smaller pair, and install the new pair,
there is a compatibilty problem, or the ram is just bad.
