I don't have a lot of time right now, but just some quick ideas:
If your memory isn't DDR2-667, then an e8xxx series will run it faster. You could be inadvertently overclocking and it's freezing on boot, just on the edge of stability. In this case, you can probably increase voltage to 2.1v and be alright. Potentially increasing latency to something like 6-6-6-30 or even 7-7-7-40 or so just to check things out.
Also some boards just need to run RAM a little looser when 4 slots are full.
I'd at least try with just one stick in and see if it works. You can work up from there.
