Ummm.... My computer just turned on... By itself... I was in my bed.... Now I'm just scared... This has never happened before.

http://www.crucial.com/ go here it will tell you.

It is most likely that the memory itself is bad. Try running with only one stick, and repeat this with each stick. You should also run the Windows Memory Diagnostic on each stick when you try it.

Requiring that you have a surge protector for your warranty to be in effect is a sh***y thing to do; however if you signed the warranty agreement then you de jure agreed to the terms, whether you read them or not. If you didn't sign anything then you might have a chance. Not much of one, unless you feel like taking it to court, but some chance. You might also see if you can take advantage of ...

change the psu, a high pitched noise from the psu and random reboots indicates the psu is dying. can you get into the bios and post your temps and voltages please?

these are the specs you need to post what are you running video card cpu m/board ram power supply brand wattage check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them does the external have it's own power supply or does it just rely on the usb if that is the case try plugging it into a self powered hub

cheapest to try replacing the power supply first before declaring the MB shot.....

You need a GOOD quality minimum 650W. I would prefer a 750W. CORSAIR 750TX $110 the 650 is only $10 cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139 006 Edit: For some reason, all the Newegg links posted today seem to go to Neweggs home page instead of directly to the linked product?

Ringing as in a beeping sound? It may a CPU over heat alarm. Check the Temps and Voltages in the Bios.

and welcome to the Forum You can run diagnostics on the Memory to rule out failure . . Click on the link to Memtest in my signature. See this for how to make a bootable cd What Brand is the Power Supply? . . it looks weak for that system

Hi and welcome. Could you please provide the model number off of the Hynix memory sticks? I found the QLV for this specific board; it seems to be a little finicky on it's RAM. Thanks!

why to take risk dear.....get a 1200 watt psu......

try 1 stick at a time.

As long as your OS is 64 bit it will recognize that much. The problem is in mixing ram modules, that can be quite dodgy. Being the same manufacturer and timings give better odds of it working, though there is more to it. Would help if both kits are rated for the same max voltage, often the vdimm (ram voltage) needs to be raised when running four sticks, if one kit is 1.8v. and the other 2.1v...
