Try this: Slot 1 - 512mb stick
Slot 2 - 256mb stick
Slot 3 - 512mb stick
Slot 4 - 256mb stick

Up your Vdimm to 2.7v and see what happens.

I'd try the 512's by themselves in slots 1 and 3, if it boots OK then raise the vDimm to 2.7v like craig said, turn it off, and add the other two DIMMs to slots 2 and 4.

my old ram is the 512mb, when i used them i use them at 2.7v n now i try the same thing with the 1 gig one i even cant raise the volt to 2.7v

now i use my 1 gig only with auto setting in my bios, bcause if i change something like the V i will have boot problem

boot problem is like this if i put all my rams when i turn the comp on it on but my monitor doesnt show ne thing, n i just reformat my comp bfore i put my rams.

so ne ideas?

At this level if you dont have any output on your screan its not OS dependent, make sure your using the latest bios and you can try reseting your Cmos.

Altough not likely your memory might not like higher Vdimm...
