Hello and thanks for helping me in advance.

Yesterday I installed a new motherboard, cpu and new DDR3 Rams as well, and ever since I installed those bits, the computer have been acting up.

First of all, I have lost the driver cd for the cpu, it's an intel Core 2 Quad Q8400.
The motherboad is a Asus P5QC, and the Ram are 4gigs (two 2 gig sticks) DDR3 Corsair XMS3. Nothing have been overclocked.

My problems started right away with the computer not turning on properly,
I could hear it boot, but there were no picture on the screen, when I took out one of the Ram blocks, it booted up without problems. If I inserted the ram block again, it wouldn't boot, it doesn't matter witch one of the 2 DDR3 ram slots I use.

When I only have one 2 gig block in, it runs fine for up to several hours, but will inevitably reboot without any error screen, on a quick view of the event log, I found nothing there.

I am completely lost on why it does what it does, so help are greatly appreciated.
