Have you tried both sets of 2 GB by themselves, verify all the memory is good? Perhaps there's a problem with the motherboard? Also, the boot up memory test is not exhaustive. There may be a problem it doesn't catch. Try each set of 2 GB and run the SUSE memory test.
Flakey memory can cause the appearance of other problems that aren't really there.
James, Yes, I tried both sets of 2 GB and each passes Memtest. For the 2 GB I only ran Memtest for about an hour, but each had no errors. As I mentioned above, I did run Memtest for 13 hors with all 4 GB installed, and there were no errors at all. Since each 2 GB set passes Memtest, and all 4 GB pass memtest, it seems the memory is fine. I didn't mention, and I probably should have, that I first tried this with an ECS Kn1 Extreme motherboard (also uses the nforce4 chipset) and had even more problems with 4 GB, although again 2 GB was fine. thinking it wasa a motherboard problem I then got the Epox 9NPA, which had very good reviews.
