memory help

[sarn3]

i have a Intel® Desktop Board D845HV p4 1.6G  and when i leave 256 memory its fine but when i install 2 sticks of matching 256 it reboots over and over and when i put all 3 in it give me a system 32 error and wount load windows! what can i do to fix this?

i have changed out all 3 cards of memory and they work in it on the own but not when i pair them togather ! is there something on a motherboard that can restrict a board to 256?
