Solution
Huh, sounds like a bad motherboard then. It happens, but a heck of a lot less then RAM going bad. But if 3 out of 4 old sticks AND the new sticks are failing? Yeah, probably the motherboard.
...assuming you tested each stick one at a time, that's VERY unlikely, but if you brought the RAM as a pair, possible, Try using a different RAM slot, just in case the slot itself is bad...[not likely either, but worth checking].

Also make sure the RAM settings are correct in the BIOS.
