Ok, I was using a USB keyboard and I just installed my drivers for it to be able to press any key to boot from CD.

So I reformatted with 1 ram stick.

Both sticks of ram are good, identical, and in color matched slots.

What happens when I boot with 1 stick of ram? The computer will crash every once in a while.

With 2 sticks of ram, I have to jump the mobo and I CANNOT edit the bios or else it will not start up again (gotta jump the mobo). Also if I log onto windows and try restarting it will not restart, gotta jump the mobo. Although if I go into the bios and then don't do anything and restart it, it restarts fine.
