Reset the BIOS to default and see if that makes any difference.

Take a look at your motherboard book and make sure the RAM you are installing is supported by your motherboard.

yea 1st thing i di before ordering the ram not to mention it is the exact same ram as the 2gb i have in there now!

Now with Modern Intel M'Boards at least if you use more than the 2 Initial RAM Slots you need to use the recommend RAM and normally the fastest that the M'Board supports not slower RAM.

When you go to 3 or more RAM Sticks and the System doesn't boot this is because the RAM is not supported for that configuration but without knowing the Make & Model of the M'Board here I can not offer any more help than to suggest looking on the M'Boards Makers Web Site at the Recommend RAM or reading the Manual.

If you see the MFG splash screen or BIOS screen during bootup, then the BIOS correctly detected your processor, memory, and peripheral cards and attempts to boot to the operating system. If after the "hand off" to the operating system your system stops, with a stop fatal error [BSOD] then there will be a code. 0X0XXXXXXX where X is a series of #s. What are they?

Does Asus have any information on their forum boards on this problem?

when i install the ram i get no screen just the audio system failed duev to overcloking and it does not do anything after that!!

Sounds a lot like Jarvis was installed in the Asus BIOS. Read about that in the trade journals.

Does it also give an audible beep?

got access to another PSU that has a bit of Wattage, say 550-600W or better.
