    your new ram may be the problem try slot 1 and 3 and see if it works.

    I have that motherboard and apparently it only accepts RAM in matched pairs i.e. slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 - three stick's won't work. Try swapping the two 256mb sticks for a 512mb and pair with what you have.

    perhaps the ram is clocked differently and so you need to set them all the same in the bios. I have the 754 version of your board and and although it only has 3 slots, 2 of them will only work for some reason.
