I ordered a couple of sticks from crucial last night.

Nah, no settings in the BIOS unfortunately.
I tried both of the new sticks in a box here at the office this morning, replacing 4200s with the 5300s and they worked fine so the sticks are good.
Has to be a compatibility issue somewhere, remonds me of the old days when you had to pay attention to the memory parity shit...lol.
So, I will wait for the sticks from crucial to get here (they are 5300s too) and see if they work, if not I will return them and drop down to 4200s.
Thanks for all the input.
