I would first check which RAM Dimms are compatible. For that use the Crucial Scanner,

Crucial.com - Crucial System Scanner

It sounds like you may have a bad ram chip or incompatible ram chips. Visit the crucial web site suggested by WHS. If the chips you have are compatible, try running just one chip and test the results.
