A couple of things to try:
- Put in both sticks, try booting from a distribution and pass the
bootloader "mem=960M" as a parameter at the prompt.
- Just to make sure it's not a memory problem, grab memtest86
(http://www.memtest86.com/) and try running it for a few hours.
Unlikely, but you never know.
