as the subject says .. I tried changing my ram
had:
two 1GB A-Data sticks
tried to put in:
four 1GB A-Data sticks
basically .. everything went in fine .. sticks clicked in .. my corsair ram fans went on fine .. I hooked up ALL wiring like it was but when I turn on the computer .. EVERYTHING goes on except my keyboard and monitors .. so I see and hear the internals of my computer running and churning away yet my monitors don't seem to be registering/communicating with my computer ..
what Im thinking about doing is just sending THIS ram back and getting ANOTHER two 1GB A=Data sticks of ram .. because they seem to work ..
and before anyone says it, my mobo is supposed to be able to support up to 8gigs so I'm no where near pushing the limit .. Im thinking the ram I received was either DOA or who knows ..
If I was to get another two 1GB a-data chips would I come across the same troubles or would they be fine ?? :-\

Try running the two new sticks in place of your old sticks.
And then if it boots, run memtest86+ for a long session (like overnight) to check if the memory is faulty. If it errors early on, then you can stop the test as it has proved itself unstable.
Lastly, check your two original sticks in the other memory banks to rule out the motherboard.
