Default ASUS P5Q-E black screen with F2-8500CL5D 4GBPI-B

HI
I have problems with one KIT - F2-8500CL5D 4GBPI-B

MB - ASUS P5Q-E, last official BIOS ver.2101
CPU - C2Q Q9650
PSU - OCZ 850W
OS - Win7 64bit

When put the two DIMMs F2-8500CL5D 4GBPI-B, they reached the BIOS some times, but after 10 sec. the screen freeze and after restart only black screen. The Board don't make any buzzer sound. Mostly when start the PC I have black screen. I checked the memory in different ways, removing all memory and trying one by one on different slots - the one DIMM goes to BIOS with problems but can not run Operating system, the other can not goes even to BIOS with only black screen.

Ps. /Previously I have had - Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 2.1v, Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 2.1v, and still have G.skill Trident PC2-8500 1.8v and that DIMMs worked without any issues/

Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Might use one of the other sets and make sure you have the latest BIOS first then try else go into BIOS set DRAM voltage 2.1 and raise NB voltage + .04 from current setting then try with 1 or both sticks

Thanks for the fast response.
I already tried, when using G.Skill Trident F2-8500CL5D-4GBTD to make adjustments: raising DRAM voltage to 2.1v, maybe must try and with adjustments on NB voltage, but the things remain the same - only black screen when using F2-8500CL5D 4GBPI-B.

I think to flash the BIOS with modded one: Bios Revision : 2101 Mega (03/07/2011 OC-Modded BIOS by Ket):
The following has been updated in P5Q-E 2101 Mega BIOS 03/07/2011:
* Update memory table to P5Q Pro Turbo 602
* Update P6 table to P5Q Premium 2406
* Update Marvell O-ROM to 1.1.0.L73
* Update marvell PXE to v6.60.2.3
* Update intel O-ROM to v9.6.0.1014
- Bios Type : AMI

HI again
After all my attempts, the best result is to start the Memtest86 on bootable flash, with each stick on slot A1. That result is achieved with official Asus BIOS v.2101, DRAM voltage 2.1v and NB voltage 1.14v.
But after entering Memtest86 the screen freezes almost instantly.
So my experience ends and I don't know where is the problem - incompatibility or something else.

Ps. - with modded BIOS 2101 Mega - F2-8500CL5D 4GBPI-B can not be recognized

Feel free to send them in for RMA to see if a new kit works better.

Thank you
