The stick appears to be a newer line of value DRAM from Kingston, which uses high density memory chips. Your mobo is a an older 775 socket that was designed to work with the the older gen of DDR3 that was made with low density memory ICs. I'd return it and try the GSkill NT series of value DRAM which is made with low density ICS. Kingston hasn't made any DDR3 with low density ICs in a few years now
PTOWN GAMER:Sry im new on this forum and accidentally press vote down for your replied /.\ I did try to put in just with the 4GB memory card and put in the 2GB with the 4GB card together but it still occur the same problem.
Roopjeet Singh: Yeah i did heard that sound when intalling it but the same problem occur.
