    If you have a floppy or usb flash drive, download a copy of Memtest86. This will check to see if you have any RAM issues. It needs to be run through a flash drive or floppy disk during boot up. Give it time to scan, it'll take a while.

    You know your configuration but your processor doesn't! Cause he need some time to accomodate with your new cards. That is my opinion.
