Default Major RAM issues, help!
Hey guys/gals, I recently bought a set of OCZ reapers, 2GB, 1066MHz. So I went to install them and ran into a nasty problem. After they were installed and I turned the computer on I got a VERY long post beep which was abnormal. Proceeding this, I noticed that the screen would not turn on. However, being the tinkerer that I am I hit enter,f1, ect. just to see if it was something that the user had to input. After hitting I noticed that my post box went to FF so everything was ok but my screen would not turn on. However, when I removed one stick the system booted normally. I removed that stick and the other booted normally as well. Any ideas??

(I had four sticks of kingston 667 before, so I know that my slots are ok)

Currently I am running on one stick of my kingston, so I remove this then reset Cmos, then go to my good RAM?

Boot with one stick and go in and make sure your ram voltage is set high enough to run the sticks.

Remove your current memory, reset CMOS and then add your new memory, and they should work fine after that.
