Single Stick Ram

Can I run 4 GB of Single Channel RAM in all four slots of my motherboard?
I own 4 GB of these sticks of RAM: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1170139&CatId=147
On this motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-A8N-SLI-SE-Motherboard-NFORCE4/dp/B000CRR4HI
I can run 2 GB of these in single channel mode (slots 1 and 2) perfectly fine. I am finding I cannot get to the BIOS when I have more than 2 GB of RAM by adding a 3rd for 4th stick in the 3 and 4 slots. I have tested and confirmed that all four sticks are working and have the same speed/timings.
When I use 3 or 4 GB of these sticks, I cannot even get to the BIOS. This motherboard only give me 1 long beep and then 2 short beeps repeatedly every time I boot up. I am using a Phoenix BIOS.
You might want to see if there is a BIOS update for that board. I looked at the specs for that board and it supports 4GB of RAM in Dual Channel mode, so there is no reason that all sticks should not work. Have you tried slots 3 and 4 by themselves? If that does not work then that is your problem. If not you may want to up the voltage on the ram just a little bit to see if that might work.
