Recently, I was getting tons of windows errors. Everytime I would open up a program it would lead to a critical error. Usually, a restart would fix the problem. Unfortunately, on one of the restarts I took, it just wouldn't post. After a few hours of tinkering, I got it to boot with 1 stick of ram. After trying 2gb yet again, it will only boot if it's in 2 different color slots, it refuses to use dual channel. Btw, I'm awfully tired and I hope this post makes sense. Any ideas?
 
Just for grins, make sure you are using the correct slots. Also, try running Memtest on the stick, or try interchanging the stick in 1gb mode to see if the problem persists. Otherwise try Dragonprince's guide.
