Solution
The new stick may not want to play with the old, never a good idea to mix DRAM, even with the same exact model of DRAM there's no guarantees unless you buy all sticks in a single package. Try going back to your original 2 sticks - go into BIOS and try raising the DRAM voltage up + 0.06 and the raise the CPU/NB voltage to 1.26
