Re: Bit of a problem with some RAM...

When purchasing new ram to all out replace your old stuff, I'd definitely stick to buying matched pairs of ram (you get stuff that is designed to work together). Also, there might be a problem with the amount of power (ramjuice as i like to call it) that your ram is getting. Aftermarket ram often times takes more power than stock budget ram. Try booting with 1 stick, going to the bios and changing the voltage (if possible) to the recommended voltage for your new stuff, save/shutdown, install both sticks and try booting then.

Hope I've helped,

Alec
