Clean the ram and remove any dust. Insert in the ram slot and try again.
If this didn't help reply back.

Sounds like either the 4GB module is bad or out of spec for your system. Can you test the module in another system? Does the manual give you guidelines for RAM? Some chipsets are really touchy so be sure you have the latest BIOS update. Typically it's a bad or out of spec module. I take it system will POST and run if the 2GB module is swapped back in.

Some systems require the ram be every other slot as apposed to slot 1 2 3 4 ram would go 1 and 3 then slot 2 and 4 when using different ram sets.
