I had a similar problem after adding 2 more GB of ram (4>6GB) Computer crashed shortly after motherboard data was shown.

Install cpu-z and check memory clock. Compare it with clocks shown on ram sticker.
(mine is 5 - 5 - 5 - 15)
You can adjust that in computer bios (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-z8yWticUI)

Also i lowered it from 1066 to 800 Mhz. No more BSOD (for now)
