I've been getting reboots ever since I installed new RAM. I never got them before I did. I installed the RAM about two days ago and the reboots have been piling. Now, I can't even run a game without rebooting. I have used this computer for 2 months and no problem! The game I'm playing when it reboots, GTA V (also reboots me on Witcher 3 and rebooted me on CS:GO once), was perfectly fine before I installed this new RAM.

Here is my system NOW. Built this just over a month ago.

GTX 970 (MSI Gaming)
Asus Z97-A motherboard
i5-4690k (no overclock)
XFX TS 550W PSU
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2x4 GB)
Corsair 200r Case

My RAM before were two Hynix 2048MB 1333MHz and two Micron 2048MB 1333MHz (8GB total)

This was the most recent error I got when I simply booted up GTA V (happened twice in a row)...

On the "American Megatrends" screen, I got this:

"Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit! Press F1 to run SETUP"

Please help!

Thanks.
