Vista Ultimate 64 runs fast on 4 GB of memory but slow as a turtle with 8 GB

Hi all! I recently bought 4 x 2 GB Kingston KVR 800 MHZ DDR2 with a Western Digital Caviar Green 1 TB 64 MB Sata - 3 G to increase my gaming experience on my Windows vista 64 bit.   My problem and the question is why windows takes so long to load (in minutes) with 8 GB of memory in a few seconds if I remove the 4 GB memory?  My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R and is clearly States in the manual that it can hold up to 8 GB memory DDR2 800 MHZ. Memory is recognized in bios and in windows to 8 GB but runs very slowly until I remove 4 GB and it works super fast. Some help would be appreciated!   Thank you!

Try to reduce the clock speed to 667 and see if the performance improves.  With consumer mobos, the maximum amount of memory sometimes unable to run at the maximum rated speed.

Check to see that all the four modules are put in correspondence.  I'm not doubting that they are, but make sure you still.  Experience; try 6 GB.
