Memory/mb install question

[earlybird3]

for the resident guru:
Hi
I bought the GA EP45 UD3L. I have old ddr2 533 memory (being on a budget will buy 1066 next pay day.) I tried installing windows, clean, and it worked to a point, now all I get is reboots, I reset cmos, but get reboots, I can't even get into bios. After a bunch of reboots the cmos error screen comes up, I am not able to use the keyboard to select an option. I tried usb, and the standard keyboard.

Is this strictly a memory problem? As I mentioned I'll be getting some 1066 Kingston memory soon. or should I stick with ddr 800?

thanks for your imput.
Phil

build includes Intel E8400, 2*1 gig Corsair 533 value memory, maxtor sata Hard drive

Try a single stick, and swap them if one won't work.
