Just as it says, in system properties and in Nvidia's experience program they both say 8 gigs of ram (3.95 usable)
I have
AMD A4-6300
MSI A58M-E33 Motherboard
I have every combination between the two ram slots with a single and both sticks.
Both slots work, both sticks work, just not together (though it does recognize they are both there, just not usable) Messing with the max memory on msconfig causes a blue screen if I turn it on.
Here is what I am kind of suspecting it is: I am using two different brands of RAM, that are the same speed and timing.

I've never known two sticks of ram to completely not work together, but is this possible, or is there another solution to my problem?
