This is typically caused by a timing issue with your ram and the motherboard.

You can try to following to solve this issue:

1)  Check on either AST's web site for a BIOS update or the motherboard
      manufacturer's web site.  Often a Bios update will solve this problem.
2)  If you do not wish to do a Bios update, this can be daunting if you have
      never updated a Bios or you cannot find a Bios update, you can try
      slowing down the timing settings for your Ram in the CMOS settings
      of the Bios.
