Hello -
I recently decided to try Vista 64 bit, and so I ordered 2 more gigs of patriot extreme performance ram (PDC22G6400LLK). I now have 4 sticks of 1GB Patriot Extreme PC2-6400 (800mhz).

When I put all 4 sticks in my motherboard, and set the timings to 4-4-4-12 and set the voltage to 2.2 the computer will freeze during post. If I only put in 3 sticks it works fine.

I have tried different combinations of all the sticks of ram, and all of them are fine UNLESS I put all 4 in - so I do not believe this to be a bad stick of ram. I have also run memtest on each one. I am not overclocking anything at this point.

Any thoughts on what this could be?

My specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i mobo (latest bios - 1002)
Patriot eXtreme Performance
BFG Tech 8800GTX OC2
Lite On SATA DVD-RW (20x dvd+/-R)
Corsair CMPSU-620HX power supply
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1
Western Digital Raptor 150 GB HDD

Try to lower the timing to 5-5-5-15 to see if your able to get all 4 sticks to work.
