Yes, there are likely RAM problems. I did the same thing thinking I could buy 2 more sticks of the exact same RAM when needed to double mine. Apparently this is a newbie mistake and there is a chance that you could get lucky and have it work but the odds are against you. Apparently, if you want 4 sticks of RAM you need to buy them all at once to ensure that they are tested as a compatible set. The manufacturer goes to extra steps to be certain that all 4 sticks are compatible. Do some searching and you might find a way to test the sticks to see what will work.
I am about to start a new thread as I am having issues too.
Cheers,
