Alienware Aurora R4 Memory Upgrade

Running into an issue upgrading my system from 4x2Gb uDIMMS (2GB 1Rx8 PC2-12800U) that came with my system to a 4x8Gb kit. I purchased the Patriot Viper kit off of Amazon, and installed it today. The system will not boot when only the Patriot memory is installed (no beeps, just turns on with a blank screen), but it will boot with an old dimm installed in slot 1, and slots 2-4 populated with the patriot dimms. 

Here's the info on the DIMMs that I purchased:

Patriot Viper III Extreme Performance 32 GB 1600MHz (PC3 12800) DDR3 Memory Kit PV332G160C9QKBL

  • 1.5V
  • PC3-12800 (1600MHz)
  • 9-9-9-24
  • Intel 6, 7 and 8 series
  • XMP 1.3 Certified

I've done a few searches, but most people I've seen with issues were installing memory with a higher clockrate. The motherboard model is 07jnh0 rev a00, and BIOS version is A11. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You'll probably get a better response if you repost this in the Alienware Club forum.
