Pc dont do Ram

Hi
This is my first post, I am having trouble with my pc memory.
I have 1Gig (DDR2 pc4300)of memory and thought i will upgrade to 2Gb so i purchased 2x512 mb(DDR2 pc4200) of ram and now have 2048 mb configured 4x512mb all are CL4
I can not get all 4 to work together on dual channel,the pc freezes/colour distorts and i have to restart,i notice that the Cpu goes up and down up to 100% usage when i open programmes and sometimes just loading the desktop.This happens 8 times out of 10 but will always happen within 10 miniute or so.
If i run three modules 3x512mb it will run better but it will crash after say 40 min if i open 2 or 3 programes.I have run memtet 86+ over 5 passes but it detects no errors and also takes ages lol.
I am thinking it could be a problem with the cpu but it runs ok with 2x512mb apart from the odd freeze about once a day.
Memory shows on system and i dont think it is bad.
I have the page file set @1578mb which is system managed,whether that makes any difference.
Any ideas why it will run 2x512mb ok but not 4x512mb or sometmes 3x512mb.
