Try 1 stick at a time. Maybe one of them is bad.

Check your manual, some mobos have specific combinations.

Use the first second slot, whichever they're called. One closest to the proc, and the one next to that.

Yeah, that reminds me: Back when I had an Gigabyte mobo, it wouldn't accept 3 sticks one after another meaning I had to place one in DIMM 1 then 2 and then 4 and skip 3.

What ram are you using? I have this same board and left the all the timings set to auto in the bios and would not boot either. I went in and manually set it to my ll pro ram 2-3-2-6 (2t) and it ran fine with 4 512 sticks. Moving to tccd based ram next to try or the crucial ballstix stuff. When I set my ram to 1t like it is supposed to be it drops back to 166 speeds? 
Any thoughts on that by chance?
And have you flashed to the 1.2 bios?

Also for greater stability, set ur vdimm a little higher to 2.7V or 2.8V. That might help alot also.

To set timmings, set the ur settings to "expert" to set timmings to what u want in bios. U can use winflash to flash ur bios if u don't have a floppy,do a google search for it.
