Did you upgrade your RAM all at once? If not, make sure that you have the same type, brand, and model RAM modules.

Every RAM module has a memory controller on-board. The memory controller tells the computer how to talk to it, and sometimes, another memory module doesn't talk the same way that the other module does, thus the system gets confused since it is getting mixed signals on which way to talk to the RAM.
