    Incorrect memory for your motherboard. Go to Crucial.com and search for the correct RAM modules, or check the Motherboard/Computer manufacturers website for the correct type.

    Some motherboards will lower the ram speed when you use more than 1 or 2 dimms.

    Can you go into bios and change the ram davider so they will run at DDR400?
