I would say are you 100% sure 2GB and over is supported by your mainboard?

Yes its a MSI K7D-Master and it supports 4 GB as i can recall i have now 1.5 GB of spare ram

From the MSI website:

<snip>
Main Memory

• Supports eight memory banks using four184-pin DDR DIMM
• Supports DDR SDRAM DIMM
• Supports a maximum memory size of 4GB (registered DDR only)

Note: Because of limitations imposed by the personal computer architecture and BIOS, the user-accessible memory is less than 4 Gbytes even if 4 Gbytes of physical memory is installed.

And their FAQ states this:

<snip>
Due to the limitations imposed by the personal computer architecture and BIOS, the user-accessible memory is about 3.5GB when 4GB memory is installed.

Also, do you have the latest bios? (v1.91)  I don't think it will help but it does mention something concerning memory.

b.System cannot boot when 4GB memory in system and Video memory is 256MB.
