    Hello Nikolaj89,
    What is the voltage set to in the Bios ?.
    The recommended voltage for your Ram is 1.8V. You may have to up this if you are overclocking to 1066Mhz.
    Just be aware that your temps will climb too.
    Check in the Bios and see if this is set at 1.8V or set to auto.
    The stick of Ram you took out, check to see if it is good, swap it with the other one.
    Your Ram can run at 1066Mhz by overclocking it, but the default is 800Mhz.
    Hope this helps.
