Hello,
I am having issues with adding a pair of ram to my motherboard. I originally had 2 2gig ram by nvidia in my computer and managed to get my hand on another pair of G.Skill 2 2gig ram. They are both DDR2. I set both in the motherboard in same color slots and started up my computer. Hoping my BIOS would do the rest. It went past POST and went on the windows loading circle for a few seconds and then froze, on the windows loading circle. That would mean that the system crashed while the BIOS was handing the computer to my OS correct? Each pair were loaded in same color slots and both pairs are not faulty. I can run the computer with just the G.Skill ram or Nvidia ram but not both. Will not boot with a single stick of each in different color slot ether. They are almost the exact same except for timing, voltage and brand.
Any Help?

Specs
OS: Windows 10 Technical Preview
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R
Ram (old): Nvidia OCZ2N800SR4GK (2gx2) (Timing:5-4-4-13 or 14 it doesn't say. Voltage: 2.1)
Ram (New): G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ (2gx2) (Timing:5-5-5-15. Voltage: 1.8 ~ 1.9)
Cpu: Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz
Gpu: Nvidia GTX 660
Power Supply: RAIDMAX RX-530SS
 
Solution
NB Voltage is known as MCH Core Voltage.

It will be difficult to find that old RAM, the specs are terrible.

Try setting the RAM to DDR2-800 6-6-6-18 1.90V-2.0V and see if that can work

Raised DRAM voltage and didn't do anything. Still crashed. I can't find a NB voltage is it labeled under anything else commonly? I think I may just return it and see if I can get the same model as my old ones.

Returning sounds like a good idea... I was not really hoping to get better cpu preformance just be able to run servers mostly. Not a full server just things like Arma II servers and things like that.
Hope it doesn't pop... Oh my.
