check the online manual, maybe your computer can only support a certain amount. Also place the RAM in order, the manual should describe the order, normally its Slot 1 = highest... to Slot 4 = Lowest.

Try one at a time to make sure they all work.
Maybe certain brands don't work well with the others.

A quick Google shows that your machine will take up to 4 gigs. Make sure all of the memory is the same speed. You need PC2-6400.
