Incompatible RAM or bad motherboard?

With both RAM sticks in, I get constant BSOD, that points at the memory. With one stick in the first slot, my PC freezes and makes a crazy screeching sound when it does. With one stick in the third slot, my PC just freezes, no screeching sound.

With one stick in, my PC runs more stable than with two.

My RAM is super talent 2GB/128x8 CL9, DDR3-1333, W1333UB2GV, it is not on the compatible list of RAM on my motherboard website, but according to where I got the PC from, it should still work.

The RAM itself seems fine as it successfully went through 8 passes of Memtest86+.

So my question is this, with the information given, would you tend to think the RAM is incompatible with the motherboard making it freeze? or do you think the actual motherboard itself is bad?

If you can test the ram for 8 passes (with zero errors) it probably isnt either the ram or mobo. Are you overclocking? Under volting? running a raid? Was the OS clean installed?

Ya the RAM itself is fine. I was thinking the issue could be that the RAM and motherboard are not compatible.

I'm not overclocking, not undervolting, no RAID, all settings at default as it came from where I bought it.

I do feel this is a hardware issue because I get errors while running Prime95.
