Hello Tom's Hardware!

So I bought some hyperx RAM 2x4Gb to upgrade from my former hyperx RAM 2x2Gb. After installing both memory sticks my PC would just get stuck on the system boot screen. Trying to boot with just one stick gave me a pfn list corrupt bsod at the windows boot screen. I tried all kinds of stuff i researched on the net ( i.e. removing cmos battery and holding power button, adjusting the DRAM voltage slightly, swapping slots etc.) and finally sent them back to the shop to check if they were DOA. They informed me that they are functional so i guessed that its a random compatibility issue with some other part and i switched them for another pack of G-skill 2x4Gb RAM. The exact same thing happens.

Specs:
Mobo : Asus P7H55
CPU: Intel i3-550 3.2 GHz
GPU : EAH 5750
RAM : 2x2Gb Kingston Hyperx 1333MHz DDR3
OS : Windows 7 Professional N 64bit

All the RAMs are DDR3 1333MHz.
Also everything goes properly when i reinstall my old RAM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

BIOS is up to date. The QVL of my mobo is a bit outdated and missing a lot of RAMs, so the one's I bought which are a relatively new model, are not on there.
