Try memtest with the ram in - google it. But it could be a PSU problem, with it not being able to supply enough power to the PC.

you might try going into the BIOS and setting the memory clocks manually. some BIOS will not correctly recognize memory. be sure you have the latest BIOS. It is also possible you got a bad stick of RAM.

the memory clocking should be 2.5,3,3,7 but you might be overheating as well. in your BIOS, go to "chipset configuration" and enable flexibility option. then go to "cpu configuration" and enable thermal throttleing. let me know if that helps
