Check the wait states' settings in your BIOS. Try increasing them a
little. Better yet, start from the ``factory default'' and if it works,
try decreasing the wait states until you find the fastest set-up you can
live with.
Also, check your external (off-chip) cache settings. If it is set to
write-back and you can set it to write-through, then try doing it, too.
FYI, all of the above would make your system slower, so if any of it
works, you should yell at whoever sold you those SIMMs: they are probably
slower than your previous ones.
