N680SLI-DQ6 Rev 2 4 sticks of RAM

[Gatenbyservices]

Ok, First off, hey guys, My first post,

Major problem with this Gigabyte board. We have tried 2 makes of RAM both with the same problem.

4 Sticks of 1GB matched pairs and it will blue screen going into 64 bit vista. Remove 1 stick and it will boot without problem.

We have incresed the voltage of the ram to no joy.

We Updated the BIOS to the latest version.

System specs.
N680SLI-DQ6 Rev 2
Q6600 g0 steping
2 x 8800 GTX's
Coolermaster 850 W modular PSU
4 x 1 GB corsair XMS2 / 4 x 1 GB OCZ platinum

Any ideas guys? Or should i just up this MB and go with a diffrent board?
