Help with a ASUS p5k-e build

[a319airbus]

Hi guys,
Found the forum today while looking for a bit of help with my new system build probs.
I have just built a system with the following components.
Asus p5k-e wifi motherboard
E6550 processor
Radeon hd2600xt graphics card
Seagate 750gb sata hd
Seagate 250gb sata hd
Coolermaster elite case
Artic cooling freezer 7 pro fan
Asus drw2014l1t DVD
4gb Patriot ddr2 pc2-6400 800mhz (2x2gb sticks)

Here is my prob,anytime I try and install Windows (xp pro or vista) I get BSOD with the following message,IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL, and stop message 0X0000000A.
After a bit of Googling this message it seems that the errors are mostly related to RAM.Does anyone know if Patriot memory is compatible with the P5K-E mobo and if it is any ideas on a fix??
Cheers
Kevin
PS.some other forum users have mentioned Patriot memory in their system specs!!

Is it even posting? May have to set the ram voltage in bios. Try bootin' up with just one stick.

Hi there and thanks for the quick reply!!Yes it does POST and I can access the BIOS setting I just am not 100% sure of the setting I need to make.
here is the ram spec if it helps ram spec and could you point me in the right direction for settings.


Cheers

Download and .iso copy of Memtest and run it on the problematic machine and see if memory passes. If it doesn't; check in BIOS that the timings and voltage is meeting what the manufacture suggests and try memtest again. If it fails, it's RMA time. Also if you happen to be using a creative sound card and you forgot to list it; remove it.

Also you using the latest bios?
