Are you using the memory in dual channel? Also, what configuration is it? E.g. 4x 1GB, 2x 2GB.

Ok. Try running it single channel if your board would let you, then try one stick at a time, making sure that it's in slot 1 or 0, whatever your manufacturer calls the first one

Tell them that what you sold them is not doing what it's supposed to so you want a replacement
