clear the cmos to see if that does anything to your problem. check for bios updates.

Is it(2)1 gig sticks? If it is try 1 stick at a time when you boot. Sounds like a bad stick.

Also, what BRAND of ram are you using, this board is very very fickle about ram. You may have to adjust voltage and timings.
