DX58OG lockups with 24 GB ram installed

DX58OG lockups with 24 GB ram installed: "

Built a DX58OG with i7 950 and six Kinston KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX ram modules installed (24 GB). No OC or tweaking features used. System will randomly lock up every day and requires a hard reset. With three Kinston KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX ram modules installed (12 GB) system is stable for one month now. Would like to run with 24 GB.

Test notes

With 6 ram modules (24 GB)

run Heavyload - fails after ~ 40 minutes

run MS Security Essentials, full scan - fails after ~ 60% of scan completed

At each failure system locks up, mouse & keyboard lights turn off. Hardware reset is required.

With 3 ram modules (12 GB)

run Heavyload - pass every time

run MS Security Essentials, full scan - pass every time

During tests which I ran for 28 days (I'm patient) I replaced the following items one after the other until only the original DX58OG board remained:

hard drives

video card

power supply

all ram modules

Anyone have an idea about how I can get a 24 GB system running 100%?
