GA-P55A-USB3 ver 2.0 wont boot with 4x4gb ram

Hello! Back in 09 or so I built a pc using the GA-P55A-USB3 rev2.0 board, i3-540 clarkdale processor, 2x2gb corsair ddr3 1600 memory, geforge gt 240, 550 watt psu, and a wd blue 500 gb sata drive. The mobo's bios version is f8.

I've recently decided to turn it from a basic media server into a game server host but I needed to upgrade the memory. I went out and purchased 4x4 gb ddr3 pc1333 corsair (same series as my old 2x2 but a little slower) for the best compatibility. With 2 or 4 sticks in dual channel or not the machine refuses to boot. I've tried manually tweaking the voltages in the bios by small amounts to attempt to get it to boot but it still refuses. Would appreciate some advice or help.
