Hello,

is the stick of ram broken or am i doing something wrong.

Download the manual and go to page 26, it says it supports dual channel in both blue and black slots or one single stick in any slot. It dosnt say it works with a combination of the 2 so i think that is the answer.

does that mean that if i got another ram stick i could use that and have 8gb not 4 gb

Have you tried the 2gb RAM by itself?
