So I added another 2x2gb ram to my setup and everything was working fine - it boots, shows 8 available gigs in system and everything works...everything except my X-Fi soundcard! It is not getting recognized at all by the system anymore. I removed both sticks and it worked again, then I added one more stick and it still worked, then I added the final stick and boom - the soundcard is gone again! I removed the 2nd stick and now i'm running with 6gb. wtf is going on? I haven't run memtest yet so I don't know if the memory is fine but why did everything else work, also I swapped the memory twice.

Have you set the voltage and RAM settings manually in the BIOS?

nope, I left it all on default/auto
should be 1.50 volt and 9-9-9-24 timings
well, at least 6gb is enough to get rid of the Bioshock Infinite freezes Surprised
