I'll be getting this tomorrow so hopefully I can get this machine running even better and get a better performance out of Elite Dangerous

This just goes from bad to worse
I put the two new RAM sticks in slots 2+4 as I did with the Corsairs and instead of selecting XMP2 in the BIOS I put in the specified settings from the web page
Went to reset the computer and it turns on but no video output
Tried reseting - won't enter the BIOS settings
Tried replacing the old RAM again - no video output
Put the new ones back in again - no video output
No video output
Can't get into the BIOS settings at all now
Help

Any ideas before I spend money getting a local PC specialist to look at this?
I NEVER GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN!

I managed to get it running again PHEW (before I have to spend money getting some local guy to look at it)
Reset the CMOS or something by just holding the power button down for 20 seconds
Now it's running at the default settings for my previous 8GB RAM and I don't know if I can get it running any better because I'm scared to frigging change the settings in the BIOS again
Maybe this PC is set up so as to block anyone from doing this - as I said before I've heard these machines are built to be incompatible

So I tried XMP2 - had to reset the CMOS
XMP1 worked and these are the CPU-Z results
Same I think
I then tried settings in Custom but setting the values as returned in the SPD of CPU-Z but left the frequency on Auto and it booted up and left me with the following settings
So running slightly different setting but at the same speed
Looks like I'm getting capped out at 2667MHz?
Not sure what else to try - might leave it a day or two and see how it runs on these settings - seem to get better performance out my games on the previous settings so see how this goes
