Hey guys. I thank you all in advance for taking the time to read about my issue here.

I'll cut to the chase. 

I recently bought new RAM sticks, because a couple of my old ones died. With the new ones installed, the computer doesn't do jack. No error, nothing. (Starts, runs 3 seconds, restarts)

I think it's because of the fact that my cpu doesn't have xmp, so I have to manually set the frequencies and timing delays on my RAM and such.

The computer boots with a couple of old RAM, so I can set new values, restart, close pc, insert new ram and see if it works.

I just don't know exactly what to do here, considering I'm very inexperienced and don't really have the guts to start messing with ram voltages and memory multipliers on my own.

 

My specs are:

MOBO: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-X38T-DQ6-rev-11#ov  (BIOS version: F6)

CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/29765/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q6600-8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB

Old RAM: http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/PartsInfo_disc.asp?root=&LinkBack=&ktcpartno=KVR1066D3N7/1G  

New Ram: http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX316C9SR_4.pdf (2 Sticks)

PSU : 550W ( Recom Power Engine 550TC )

This is what my BIOS looks like running on the old RAM modules: http://imgur.com/a/aPyIw

Thanks again and have a nice one.

I would say the ram is just bad and RMA it.
