I have 2 x (1GB OCZ 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model OCZ4001024PF) - CL 3-3-3-8 installed in my PC already and it works GREAT! But I'm having issues when I try to add in the G.SKILL memory or even utilize the G.SKILL memory on my PC. Here is what I've done so far (with headache ).

TEST NUMBER 1:
I decided to install just the 2 x (1GB G.SKILL 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX) memory just for kicks to see what would happen (setting the CAS to auto and setting the CPC to Auto/enabled). It boots up fine, and then I run my OS for a few minutes and then I get a BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH (some STOP error I believe) and my PC reboots. ::
MY QUESTION
So, what do I need to do to get my 4 GIGS working? Note, I am a noob of course.
