Yeah when I put it that way (Adata in slot 1 and 3 - OCZ in slot 2 and 4) it does not start up. Windows says that there has been a hardware change and I need to repair the windows installation by inserting the installation disc which I tried but then once I start the disc up, it tried to do a ram test. Wierd never seen this before.

mmm..The hardware change seems fine to me which indicates that it might have to be the 1-3 2-4 ratio...what you have to do is go in the bios and set the memory speed to the lowest you can find there...have you tried THIS?

i think your prob lies with the speed of your ram....the OCZ has a diff speed to the ADATA and youre running Dual Ram...with DUAL ( CHANNEL ) ram ALL RAMS MUST HAVE THE SAME SPEED..
1) Leave them in as 1 to 3 and 2 to 4
2) in the bios, change DUAL CHANNEL to DISABLE or 2a) SET to lowest speed
3) F10 to SAVE
Restart

another thing ive noted, your board can go down to 533Mhz Ram speed...Set it to there if possable as thats the lowest your board can go and i have no idea what the other MEM's speed are...you can always "read" it to me then we set it to the OLD memory's speed
PS: ITS NOT IMPOSSABLE THAT THE WINDOWS BECAME CORRUPT BECAUSE OF YOUR FIRST SETTINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG

wild guess...
its a vista disc...
and when you put it in, and it says "press any key to boot from cd/dcd" you pressed the space bar.
welcome to the integrated memory test program.
