Description of problem

Installed RAM, at first I had all 3 8GB sticks because as far as i could tell they all matched. Booted the computer with the 3 RAM installed and my monitor showed an "Unsupported mode" error. Turned the computer off then turned it back on and it showed the error again, but after about 3 min booted up normally except that there were some visual errors on my bios screen such as tearing and glitching. Got past that and logged in and everything worked fine, no errors. Woke up this morning, booted my computer like normal, tried to play a game and it just hung. Wasn't responding to any input. It did this twice. I then took out the original RAM stick and left the two new ones in because i thought maybe this was causing the problem. Now it refuses to boot and I have gotten the Blue screen several times. First couple showed a BIOS error, so I reset my MOBoard. Next just showed sys errors. I wiped my computer and reinstalled windows, and now i am getting the Unsupported Mode error again unless i boot into safe mode. I am not sure what to do. I read online that this error is due to the resolution, but it always worked fine before.
