Ok so I'm ECS P43T-A3 and I'm trying to install 8GB's of RAM. My problem is that everytime I add in another 4GB to my current 4GB my screen isn't recognized.

I have tried clearing the bios and the GFX card is plugged in and powered properly. I have looked through my motherboards manual and there isn't a jumper that has to be set to allow it as far as I can tell.

The ram I have is:

Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
and the ones im currently using are
OCZ SLI-Ready Dual Channel 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2x2048MB) OCZ2N800SR4GK at TigerDirect.com

I know all cards work perfectly fine as I have tested them all so I'm kinda lost now as to what to do.

It could be a timing issue. Your Ballistix memory has timings of 4-4-4-12 whereas the timing of your OCZ memory is 5-4-4-15.
