Re: 8gb Mushkin Ram
The default timing or clock speed of the new RAM is probably incompatible with your motherboard - even if it seems like it should work.
When you mix the old and new, the new clocks down to the speeds and timings of the old (lowest common denominator).
Go into your BIOS and note the clock speed and other settings of the RAM that works. Then try to force those settings on the new RAM.
