System reboots after installing new ram

[Klown]

I'm trying to do some upgrades on my son's older Dell system. He has an Inspiron 580s,

CPU is an Intel core i3, 3.2ghz
Chipset is Intel H57
I can't find the actual mother board info anywhere in the docs, or from the Dell support site. It detects his system fine, but no mb info.

I had to replace his hard drive recently, it died beyond recovery. Since this system is out of Dell's warranty, I went ahead and got a seagate drive and installed windows 8, 64. System is working well, but a little slow since it only has 6gb of RAM installed.

Which brings me to the reason for this thread. I purchased some G.Skill memory, based on the info in the Dell specs:
Memory connector four internally-accessible DDR3 DIMM
sockets
Memory-module capacities 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB
Memory type 1066-MHz or 1333-MHz DDR3 DIMM;
non-ECC memory only
Memory configurations supported 4 GB, 6 GB, and 8 GB

So I got these: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model F3-8500CL7Q-16GBRL

The system boots, gets to the Dell bios splash screen, about 1/2 through that load bar and then shuts off. It stays off for about 10 seconds, then turns back on and goes through the cycle again. There's no POST errors either, it just shuts off. I know the speaker still works, if I pull out all the ram and try to boot I do get a POST error.

If I'm quick about it, I can get into the bios before the system shuts off. I can see that the memory is recognized at the expected capacity. I have tried booting with 1 stick, 2 and all 4 installed so far. Same results.

Am I dealing with incompatible memory here, or is there something else I can try?

Probably a defective stick. Just try booting with one or two sticks at a time and try to identify the bad stick. Then run memtest to confirm.

I can boot with one stick installed, but using two the system locks up at the bios loading screen. I went through all the sticks and arrive at the same results. 1 stick, it boots to windows. 2 sticks, system locks up. I did verify that I am loading them in the correct configuration per the system's documentation from Dell.
