Why doesn't the new DDR3 memory work with a fairly old mother (also DDR3)?

Question

RAM

Iron experts, please help! There is a mother ASUS P7P55-m, DDR3, it costs 2x2Gb (hynix and kingston) and it works. Proc core i3, if that matters. I tried 5 new 4Gb DDR3 sticks from different manufacturers (hynix, kingston, samsung, third-party manufacturer on hynix chips).
In terms of timings and frequency, everything is fine: it loads in CMOS SETUP, bootloaders too. But Linux memtest freezes instantly, on the very first operations. Windows at boot, too, in the blue screen immediately.
I re-read the specifications, there is no hint of a problem anywhere.
The serviceman who took the memory back at the store suggested that the problem might be that the new 8-chip sticks. The old ones are really 16-chip, I did not find any new ones for testing. Nowhere is this information indicated in any way as a selection criterion.

Answer 1

When buying, it is always better to focus on the list of compatible memory modules for a specific motherboard, sometimes it happens that memory sticks are incompatible with specific chipsets. Try updating the bios.

Answer 2

Sorry if I "slowed down", but: Does
your processor and motherboard support the frequency of these RAM sticks?
And yes, as the unsubscriber said above, try updating the BIOS.
