400W PSU is on the lower end. How old is it?

How long have you let it sit with the white dots before rebooting? You might want to give it more time.

Any ideas? I'd rather not have to throw away a perfectly good RAM stick (or two). :(

Make sure you're using the latest motherboard BIOS.

The first time I thought that maybe I had coincided the RAM upgrade with a windows update, so I left it on that screen for about an hour and a half with no activity from the hard disk.

It sounds crazy but I might try leaving it on overnight sometime and seeing if it does anything.
