My PC was working fantastically until I added more RAM. I have an XFX 680i LT SLI mobo and it had 2 GB of Corsair XMS2 Dominator 240 pin DDR2 800MHz. Worked absolutely perfectly until I got 2 more gigs of Corsair (same exact thing just not the dominator series). Once that happened the computer started hanging on the splash screen. I figured it was RAM voltages and it was so I went into BIOS which had them set at 1.85 volts and I set them to 2.1 volts. Problem persisted. Computer runs absolutely fine when I get into the OS (Win7) but now it hangs on a black screen. Keyboard and mouse don't get power. Fans and lights come on. The only way to get anywhere is to let it just run like that for fifteen minutes or so and then kill power and then turn it back on and boot. When I finally do get anything BIOS tells my my voltages are wrong, I go back in and have to reset RAM back to 2.1 volts AGAIN. I tried resetting CMOS, flashing BIOS, checked PSU pins to mobo, now I'm not sure what the problem is anymore. Took my RAM out and tried just a single stick at a time but that doesn't help it boot any faster, but like I said once I finally do successfully boot into OS everything runs perfect. I can restart the computer just fine after it gets running, even shut down and power on as long as it doesn't stay off for a while. If it stays off long enough it just doesn't wanna come back to life.
