Do you have the memory in the right slots. That would be slot 1 & 2.

One other thing is go into msconfig and click on boot. Click on the Advanced options and make sure you don't have the memory check.

The # of processors & max memory should not have any check marks in the boxes.

Have you tried putting them in slot 1 and 3? Dual channel ram.

From the printscreen above, obviously u r overclocking your ram to 1600MHz.  
IMHO, ur cpu and mobo only support 1333Mhz natively, so u had better try to run stable at 1333Mhz.
If 1333Mhz is stable, then should be the overclocking cause the problem.

if  the problem still persist at 1333Mhz, then u should try to plug only one  DDR3(ur new ddr3)  into the ddr slot(try both slots) of the  mobo,
If the system fail to boot correctly at both slots, then it  should be the compatible issue between the mobo and ur new ram.

The first generation i series of  intel cpu got many compatible issue with current new ddr3 sticks.
I met this problem too, unsolved.
