Hey, yesterday I got some new Samsung DDR3 Ram, its the ones without a heatsink. Just a minute ago I was using my computer and I thought "Hey, why not put that new 16gb of ram into my computer." So I did, before that I had Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb sticks. Now, I turn on my computer, it turns on perfect, same as every time but now my monitor wont pick up the signal? Help.

Also, I did try putting my Vengeance back in and it did the same thing, turned on but monitor didn't pick it up.

Thanks


SPECS:

650w psu
8gb Corsair Veng ram
GTX 580
Asus Rampage III Extreme
i7 930 @ 2.80ghz

Isn't that the same as resseting the bios? I've done that before because my old gpu would screw up quite often.
