Try removing the video card for now; take it out of your machine and use the onboard graphics instead. This will help reduce power usage. When done, take out all RAM sticks except for one of the new ones. With just that one stick installed, run Memtest86 for 7 passes or until it errors (whichever comes first). If you get no errors after 7 passes, move that stick to the next motherboard slot over, and repeat the process until that stick has been tested in all slots.
Repeat with the other stick of new RAM as well.
If you got a lot of errors, on any test, just run the normal Memtest86+, if you get any errors you can stop the test.
Let us know the results.

The CPUZ tabs will tell you the details about your RAM, you need to check if it is compatible with your system and the timings and settings are correct.
Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and the CPU integrated memory controller voltages are.
