later it reboots and goes around and around, the new ram workes by its self,
there are 3 slots on the MoBo, and ive put them in every order and nothing

If you tried different sticks of RAM and in different combinations on
the motherboard, it would seem that your computer is only happy with
what it has got. Refer to your motherboard manual to see what its
limits are regarding amount of memory, placement, combinations
accepted, etc. If you don't have a manual, go to the m/b's tech support
website where they should have one.

If it turns out that what you are doing *should* work and it *doesn't*,
then you know the motherboard is defective.

Hi Matthew,
-Memory, Vlink voltage adjustable
-SFS(Stepless Frequency Selection) from 200 MHz up to 300MHz at 1MHz
increments.
Is there anything in the bios that isn't set right for the memory?
Can you get to safe mode (F8) and select "Disable restart on system
failure?"
Maybe you can get a stop error message that will give us something to
go on.
Best,
Treeman
