Getting un-matched ram to work together is problematical at best and impossible at worst. Sometimes, even the EXACT SAME module will have issues, especially if purchased at a different vendor or time. That's why ram manufacturers won't support itheir own ram in that scenario. They sell matched kits for a reason. If you want 8GB total of ram, I suggest getting a 2x4 matched set.

You mean, short of buying a matched set of ram? There are a number of things you can try, but nothing is guarenteed. First, is this a pre-built computer, like HP or Dell?
