i have been testing and troubleshooting since September on this issue and i thought windows vista X64 was the cause for a long time until i installed windows vista x32 and found that i get the same issues, so back to square 1, i did some research and found that apparently alot of gigabyte boards have a glitch; when more than 3 gb of ram is used they have completely random BSODs,
i need help fixing this i dont know what i should be doing to fix it, i have the latest everything including BIOS

Perhaps you could start by posting full system specs?

Either use 2 x 2gb or try manually setting the ram voltage. Sometimes when you use 4 sticks you need to manually set the ram voltage to the manufactures spec's. Sometime you also need to set it .1v or .2v higher in the to get your ram stable.

all that voltage stuff is basic, i dont have any 2gb sticks but having 2x2gb instead of 1x4gb shouldn't really make it better, it could but im not gonna go buy them just to find out, i really dont want to put a penny more into my system anymore

brendin Rogue77777 has a good ideal put the two ram in that boot up and go into bios and set the ram voltage to what the ram is rated at, when in bios hit ctrl and f1 so you can manually set the ram voltage then shut down and put the other two ram in and boot up.and see if 4 gig will boot up then.

it does boot and work OK with my 4gb, but the issue is that it gets random bsods that are not from instability

BSODs often are a sign of instability. What do you believe is causing them with your system?
