I've tried all combinations, both sticks work ALONE in EITHER slot, but if I put in the second stick it freezes before even getting to POST.
it's a pre-built system given to me by a friend that thinks it's trash, it doesn't need to get fixed, but I'm curious why it'll only boot with 1 stick.

I currently do NOT have access to other DDR2 RAM to check it until later when sister is off her PC.

[Resolved]
One of the sticks gives errors during test 2 in memtest, other stick gives errors during test 5 in memtest but ONLY while in the second RAM bank on the mobo.

Is there a bios update available? Are the two DDR2 sticks the same frequency?

mmmh, have you tried loading optimized defaults in the bios? What was this pc running before when these 2 ram sticks were in? Just win7?

Reset bios, try one stick, and the other separately, also run memtest86+ to make sure the sticks aren't bad.

Yeah I had the exact same problem when I added a RAM stick to my HP prebuilt rig.

I used a can of compressed air and blew on the RAM slot for like 2 minutes and stuck it back in. Worked from then on.

Running memtest on the first stick now, the system came pre-installed with a bloated version of Vista Home Premium. Both sticks are the EXACT same.

Image: This is where it freezes with both sticks, note the white dots all over too, that's not a monitor problem and only happens when I have both sticks in.

Don't you hate when memory sticks just go bad for no damn reason?
