There are a number of reasons that your system might not've liked the 4 GB -- most likely culprit in my mind is your motherboard not being compatible, which may or may not be fixable with a BIOS update.

One possibility is not that Windows XP won't run with 4 GB. Windows XP runs fine with 4 GB, even if it's not fully addressable.
