Trying to get my enw rig to run properly with this RAM but it keeps crashing.

* MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
* Antec NeoPower 480w PSU
* Athlon 64 3200+, Venice core
* 6600GT
* 2 HD's
* 1 optical drive

Put the (2) 1GB sticks of PC3200 Corsair Value RAM in the first two slots (BIOS reports running at dual channel) with stock BIOS settings and it puked right away. Changed CAS to 3 and it booted up fine, but the system randomly crashes. When I put in the (2) 512MB sticks of Crucial PC3200, it runs fine at CAS 2.5.

Has anyone else been having trouble running (2) 1GB sticks of Corsair Value RAM? Are there optimal BIOS settings that will allow me to run this memory and have my system remain stable?

Thanks,

Pete

try one stick and see if it works, the run memtest one at the time, try safe mode in the bios settings
