Hi

I have a bit of a major problem,
A installed 2 8800GTX graphics cards SLI and installed 4GB of RAM into my new pc upgrade.

At first i was getting the BSOD all over the place, then someone recommended me to change the voltage in the BIOS. I did that and it seemed to be working fine. But when trying to install crysis it crashed again.

I took out the graphics card and extra ram and decided to format and re-install windows XP

This is where it gets strange.. the format worked fine but when i go to reboot and install XP it crashes on the "press any key to load from CD" status in the boot up. Then i get these strange coloured blocks appear over the screen and the whole thing freezes.

any clues?

Are both these cards new? If so then what PSU do you have?

Yeah both cards are new. the PSU is 700watt.

Just to update i have now got round that problem and installed windows again.

But still stuck with the BSOD when i install the 4GIG RAM and the 2nd Graphics Card.

I was told to change the voltage in the bios for the RAM which i did to 2.10 But didn't seem to work, what is a good voltage to set?
