Bad RAM or GPU?

Hey guys,

I recently bought an R9 290 GPU and 8gb of GSkills RAM to go with the older model of 8gb GSkills that I already had. However, when I boot up the computer, I get flashing LEDs for a few seconds on either side of the RAM, and then the computer boots up normally. I do not think that my GPU is performing as it should either, as I'm getting horrible FPS in games, and an occasional crash of the display drivers, fuzzy white screen, or BSOD.

I've tried a lot of things, and was wondering if you guys had any ideas.

thanks

I have a 650W gold certified PSU- should be able to run everything fine

Yes, I do have the newest drivers, I've reinstalled them several times

Temps are pretty normal I think, around 78C
