New Patriot RAM, won't boot without MemOK

Today I eagerly awaited my new RAM that I got from the Egg last week. I picked up 16GB for $50 shipped, these sticks to be exact. After shutting my system down, I made sure the power supply had no power left in it and proceeded to install my new DIMM's. With all the memory slots full, I turned on the power supply and attempted to boot.

Here's where the problems occur. It is important to note that I'm running an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX motherboard (completely stock, no overclocks, etc), which was giving me all my error lights. At first, as I expected, the memory had to be "synced" with the motherboard. When I received the red RAM_LED light, I pressed the Mem-OK button which quickly set up the memory for use with the motherboard. The board rebooted, and went to a screen telling me that the boot was successful after running MemOK. I pressed F1, went into BIOS, and saved all the changes MemOK made to the RAM. From what I saw, the software downclocked the RAM to 1333Mhz and bumped up my voltage to 1.6V. At this point all I wanted was the RAM to work functional in the board before I tried to increase the clock, so I left the settings where they were. This should be okay right?

Well I was wrong. After saving the changes, the board went to reboot and instead of giving me a RAM_LED light, it mysteriously gave me a VGA_LED red light. I shut down the power supply, double and triple checked all my connections and turned on the computer once more. Oddly enough, the VGA_LED light popped on once more and stayed on; no POST, screen display or anything. With a random hunch, I decided to press the MemOK button even though the RAM_LED light wasn't on. The board once again did it's thing with my RAM and what do you know, I POST and BIOS comes up.

After some testing, I found that the only way for me to get into Windows every time I start the computer is to wait for the VGA_LED, press my MemOK button, let the computer do it's thing, restart into BIOS, and then press "Discard changes without saving". When I discard changes the motherboard does not restart; it boots directly from my solid state.

I've tried playing with voltages, memory frequencies, etc and I can't really figure out what's going on. After successfully booting into Windows, I ran Memtest86+ for 7 passes with no failures whatsoever. Could anybody give me a hand with figuring out what's going on? While the computer does work, going through MemOK every time I boot up isn't exactly efficient.

After I got it to work, the memory is absolutely fantastic. Best $50 I've spent in a long time.

Basically my problem was the fact that my Sabertooth is fresh from RMA. The factory had set some really weird setting for the memory, and MemOK must not have been able to figure out how to fix it. My DRAM ratio was something stupid like 3:10 or 4:10 and the voltage was at 1.61. I tried loading optomized defaults from the BIOS, and immidiately everything fixed itself. 1:4 DRAM ratio and 1.50V.
