Remove one DDR2-DIMM as you can't use 4GB fully when using non-64bit XP or non-64bit Vista. It's useless running a 32bit OS with more than 3GB of Ram. Sell the DIMM on Ebay.
Even though Vista recognizes the 4GB Ram it can't deal with them even if your CPU supports PAE (which of course all modern CPUs do) and you have turned Memory remapping on. XP however is limited to ~3,5GB too and doesn't show up 4GB in the system properties tab.
If you are using the manufacturers videocard driver which came with the videocard, get the driver from Nvidia and vice versa.
Be sure that your M2N has a new or at least stable BIOS. The M2N series are well-known for some bugs/issues. Run a stability test for at least 30 minutes. Get Memtest as an ISO, burn and run it.
