What exactly happens when you turn on the system? Also, if you haven't already, download the free bootable CD image of memtest86+, burn it as a CD, and boot from that to test your memory for errors.

Check your MB specs and see if it can handle 4GB of RAM. What is the capacity of that Supertalent stick?

Motherboard says I can handle 8gigs, the supertalent is ddr 800 pc6400 as well as the adata pc6400 ddr2 800
I figured out that i can handle 3 gigs but when i have 3 gigs in windows vista ultimate 64 still says there is only 2gigs.
This was an upgrade by the way it was not a fresh install with all the ram. When it trys to boot up after the bios screens when it gets the windows bar my computer resets.
