Ouch. This is gonna hurt. Sorry buddy, but jstanthr is right on the money here. The return policy for RAM is, you must return in within 30 days. And in the mfg label etc, kits need to be returned in same, no physical damage, blah blah etc etc.

Here's your EXACT problem.... RAM is wrong speed. Your board doesnt support it.
