Stumped on a Windows/Memory problem.

Two weeks ago Windows started to blue screen on start up sometimes booting fine, sometimes not.
I finally nailed that problem down to the memory, I removed one stick (OCZ VX PC4000 1GB) and it boots into windows fine.
Thinking it could be a dodgy stick and while sorting out an RMA, I nabbed the Geil 2GB value, since 512MB is a pain in the ass to work with.

However, installed them this morning, and it gives me the same BSOD`s.
Check the ram useing memtest, 0 errors.
Took out one stick, still BSOD`s.
Removed that one and replaced with with the 512MB stick I had in there before, boots fine again!

Specs are:

AMD64 3800+ Venice
DFI NF4 LANPARTY Ultra-D (non-sli version)
X1800XL.

The only slot the ram works in is the first orange slot, put the other OCZ in the bottom orange one and blue screens galore.

Any ideas on this one?
 
have u tried using both the yellow slots? have you updated your BIOS? im pretty sure that will fix your issues.
 
Updateing the BIOS appears to have fixed the problem.

Weird seeing as its ran fine for months until recent on the old BIOS.

Thanks :)
