Bumped up memory voltage, getting a black background and blue screens

Hey guys,

 

I recently bought 2 sticks of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227124 to go along with the 2 previous sticks, and had trouble getting them to work together. I did a lot of testing and determined none of the sticks of ram are bad and the motherboard isn't bad either, the new ram just doesn't want to work with the older ram. I bumped up the NB voltage and the memory voltage and had success until my computer started randomly freezing. I bumped up the NB voltage again, and the freezing stopped, but now weird stuff is going on like getting a black background, blue screens, windows saying my registery is up ect. What can I do to get rid of this nonsense? 

The pictures below are the following:

1. a speccy screenshot of the old 2 sticks of ram working

2. a speccy screenshot of the new 2 sticks of ram working

3. a speccy screenshot of all the ram working together

4-7. What I see when I get into windows

Any advice at all would help alot. I don't think bumping up voltage is going to work anymore. I have the memory voltage set at 1.92v and the nb voltage at 1.7v. Thank you guys in advance!

First of all, the last thing happens because 1: You have pirated windows and microsoft found they are not legit via updates, or 2: Your 30 day trial is over and you need to activate them, as for the RAM, i'd reset the BIOS.

Yeah I had the 30 day trial of windows 7. Will resetting the bios undo the work I did on the ram? When I had 4 sticks in and didn't touch the voltage, it would just freeze at the start up screen everytime. Atleast with the voltage increased, I can get into windows.

Yes by reseting the BIOS to factory settings you will be able to fix that.

I am not quite sure if this is going to help ya, but since RAM is not that expensive, I would just go ahead an a) buy more of the RAM you just bought untill you reach your desired cappacity or b ) buy completely new RAM and inbefore that make sure it works with your standard RAM volatge.

Current PC broken, saving up atm.
Reason for saving up ->
