HELP needed for RAM upgrade on AURORA R2

Question

I tried to upgrade my aurora R2 (chipset P55) to :

G-Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL DDR3 1333 MHz CL9 8 Go (2 x 4 Go)

I put on slot 1 and 2 as indicated on the manual, it's DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24 1.50V as recommended.

I checked everything with these 2 links but it still does not work (4 bips error on startup), I really don't understand why.

I have a: TF02D 1 PROCESSOR, I7-860, 2.8, 8MB, LYN, 95W, B1 I tried every slot as mentionned on some forums about the p55 chipset, and it worked by not triing to use as dual channel, I use slots 2 and 4 and it works in single channel mode. I looked at benchmarks between dual and single channel modes and it appears that for gaming it will not have a big impact, so I will use it like this. Thanks for your reply, Vincent
