First off, I'll direct you all to this thread: http://www.computerforums.org/showthread.php?t=42262. For reference, here is the motherboard and RAM that I am using:

Completely compatible. But when I removed my old RAM and inserted this, I immediatelly got a SYSTEM BOOT FAILURE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER message. Not good. So I replace my old RAM, and get the exact same message. I can't boot with either RAM now. So I insert my system disk and it starts installing drivers. Later on though, it comes to a blue screen which says:
The folowing list shows existing partitions and unpartioned space on this computer.
To set up XP on these items, press enter.
To creat partitions in unpartitioned space, press C.
To delete these partitions, press D.
Unknown Disk
There is no disk in this drive (repeated 3 times)
So far, I've pressed enter and a directional key, but both times I got a "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" bluescreen of death.
Anybody know what the hell is going on with my computer?
