You tried each ram on it`s own?... so take one stick out and see if it boots and runs the games,then do the same thing with the other ram module.

i have 512 DDR ram and when i used to play CS it worked fine on me. Yes, try the combination of using each ram on its own.

Sounds like bad ram, do what the other said and try them on their own. I've seen problems like this before, but only when one dimm was bad.
