Whoops, my bad. It is Gl960. But the question still remains: why it BSOD's with bellow 3GB? The 2GB stick is the closest to mainboard and the 512MB stick, which is a know good one, is in the top slot. Ill try borrowing an 1GB stick form my laptops and see if that changes.
2x 1GB DDR2 667/800 is official support by the GL960 and 2GB+1GB unofficially, which most people like me drive. Also 4GB and 1GB = 5GB should work, here is a video for tuning up an Acer GL960 based Notebook:

I have never tried out the 5GB mod, because a single 4GB SO-DIMM DDR2 module is too expensive for a 16 year old laptop.
The latest Linux Mint version runs very nice on my eMachines Notebook from 2008 with an T8100, 256GB Samsung Evo 840 SSD and 3GB memory.
I did not find any infos for 2560MB on the 960GL, but this could also be a problem for this chipset.
I think, that your Notebook runs fine with a single 2GB module?
The 2GB and 1GB combination should solve your problem, if not, then swap the modules in the slots and also clean the gold contacts of the memory modules with Isopropyl alcohol or spiritus.
