Do this Download the free program CPU-z. Run the program and it will give you info on your motherboard and more importantly the memory. these will be on the memory tab and the SPD tab.
I suspect that the memory may not be truly compatable. ensure the memory is installed in the proper slots..ie two of the same in slots 1 & 2 and two of the same in slots 3 & 4.
