Hey everyone, hope you guys can help. Here's whats going on..

I have a Foxconn ad7a-s mobo that supports up to 8gb on ddr2 1066 ram, originally when I built the computer everything worked fine until a month or two later when I went to turn on my computer and the computer would run but I wouldn't get any display on my monitors. So after messing around trying to see what the problem was I took out each stick of RAM and it was the RAM in the last slot that apparently was causing the problem. Ok..so whatever, I just thought bad RAM, no biggie, I got another stick of the same exact RAM Kingston HyperX 2gb ddr2 1066, everything has been fine for quite a while. Now last night I went to restart my computer and when I restarted I got no display so the first thing I checked was to RAM in the last slot and sure enough that's what it was.

Any idea to why this is happening?
I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I also read somewhere that it may be your power supply? I have a pretty good 650w brand new PSU.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
