There is a Vista bug affecting some systems when you install with three or more gig of RAM. Easiest way to see if that's your problem is to just remove 2 gig and see if she loads with 2. If we are lucky and that does the trick then there is a hotfix to download.

Get your exact specs from OCZ and set your DDR2 Voltage and Memory timings manually.

Either remove 1G or buy another 1G, 3 modules screws up your dual channel capability!

And from my own personal experience 2 X 2G = 4G is much better!, [performance wise], than 4 X 1G = 4G.
