You don't need additional RAM.  Given that you have four sticks, even if 
one of them is faulty it's most unlikely that all of them are.

Take two of the sticks out, and try again.  If the fault persists, put 
them back and take the other two out.  Be careful to keep them installed 
in pairs to suit your motherboard.

Treble-check all your connections are in the right place and the right 
way around.  You have fitted *all* the power feeds to the m/b haven't 
you - that's two together (which kind of clip together before you plug 
them in) and one off on its own on the other side of the board.

I don't have a spare PSU I'm afraid, but you can pick up a basic one for 
testing purposes for less than £20.  Obviously not what you want in the 
long term, but good enough for a test.

Cheers,
