Yes absolutely. (and repeatedly )

This was the exact same problem before, it will not post with these 2GB sticks, and every time the board resets itself to the stock defaults the board will not post.

The ONLY way I got it up and running before was to put in cheap 2x1GB RAM and then go into the BIOS and set everything for my 4x2GB RAM. Then I hit "save & Exit"

Right after "Save & Exit" when it had shut down I pulled the plug, then I pulled out the cheap RAM and swapped in my nice 2GB sticks.

Then I plugged in back in and turned on and it booted.

But sometimes it seems now when it crashes it is setting the board back to defaults and then there is nothing that can make it post short of the swap trick I used before.

The problem is that that cheap RAM is no longer here so Im screwed.

if anyone can help that would be great.
