Default Gigabyte ex58 extreme m/b incompatible to dual triple channel ddr3 **help me please**

HELP IS NEEDED...PLEASE!!!

I HAVE RECENTLY BUILT A NEW PC AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GIGABYTE EX58 EXTREME MOTHERBOARD (BIOS REV F2) DETECTING (3x 1024mb) x2 = 6GB TOTAL MEMORY TRIPLE CHANNEL OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 1333hz.

IF I INSERT THE BOTH TRIPLE CHANNEL DDR3 IN ALL 6 DIMMS THE SYSTEM WILL NOT BOOT TO WINDOWS VISTA 32BIT OR 64BIT.

HOWEVER, IF USE ANY 1 SET OF TRIPLE CHANNEL DDR3 ON DIMMS 1,3, AND 5 THE SYSTEM WORK FINE...

ANY SUGGESTION WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.


MY SYSTEM SPEC:

INTEL CORE i7 920 CPU
GIGABYTE EX58 EXTREME MOTHERBOARD
2x OCZ PC3-10666 (1333mhz) DDR3 TRIPLE CHANNEL (6GB) (1GB DDR3 PER DIMMS)
SAPPHIRE ATI HD3870 GDDR4
BFG 550W LS PSU
3 RAPTOR X ON RAID0 STRIPE (128kb)
THERMALTAKE AMOR+ FULL TOWER
1 HD ROM
1 DVDRW ROM

THANKS

PROBLEM SOLVED, SYSTEM IS IN FULLY WORKING WITH ALL SIX DDR3 (PC3-10666).

I HAD TO INCREASE THE RAM VOLTAGE FROM 1.50v TO 1.65v.

DOH... sorry, I should have taken note of the memory brand. OCZ tends to have some power hungry modules but they are usually very good performers.
