Potential bad motherboard?

Did you try different memory slots as well? If not, then try the memory in different slots.

In theory any DDR3 memory should work. However, due to memory chip architecture and for other reasons, some memory may be incompatible with your motherboard.

To be certain of compatibility, use the memory search/compatibility function available at most memory manufacturer websites to find compatible memory for your motherboard. Note that not ALL combinations of motherboards and memory are covered. If compatible memory/motherboard combination is not shown, it may be that the particular combination just hasn't been tested and it doesn't necessarily mean unlisted combinations are incompatible.

Check compatibility of memory with your motherboard using memory check/search at memory manufacturer website. Then try known compatible memory (in different slots as required). If there are still issues while running known compatible memory it is likely the motherboard is faulty, although it is possible the memory itself may be faulty.
