I'll repeat my eariler question... Is the memory in that box *certified* to work on that motherboard? If the BIOS has an option like "spread spectrum", try turning that off.
I'll let Jason answer these questions definitively. As to the first, I can only suppose that the answer has to be 'yes'. Penguin is a reputable manufacturer with a lot of experience in Linux commodity webservers, their specialty. That's such an obvious detail that I don't see them overlooking it. But I haven't checked to be certain.
I also doubt if the bios has any options set that would break things, Penguin ships boxes like this all the time, I would imagine, to much bigger customers than us.
I think there's just something wrong.
I'm not happy about any of this, but I will say that -- other than shipping us a broken machine -- Penguin has been steadfast and upfront in their willingness to do the right thing to make things right with us.
