I seem to recall you saying that your old computer was 8 years old. I'm 
surprised the RAM would even fit in the slot. If I were a betting man, I'd 
guess that your problem is that memory - your new motherboard may have 
sufficient backwards compatibility to accept it, but I doubt the default BIOS 
settings would allow for smooth running - something really doesn't make 
sense -- that memory from your old machine shouldn't even have fit into the 
socket of your new machine
