Default Windows XP not starting after extra RAM added

Bought a new PC in January.
Specs a
Windows XP Pro SP3
Gigabyte mobo (GA-EP45T-UD3R) with 4 slots (2 channels) for DDR3 RAM.
I bought the PC with 2 x 1Gb Corsair DDR3 1333 MHz RAM.
I have now bought 2 more of exactly the same Corsair RAM.

After installing the extra RAM, Windows will not open fully. The PC only
gets as far as the Windows XP screen and then goes blank.

I even went into the BIOS but that froze after a short time as well.

I have removed the extra RAM and all is good again.

How can I get the extra RAM to work?

regards

PeterH
