I had similar problems w/ 1901+ BIOSes...

For some reason the motherboard is picky on what ram I put in and if I put higher voltages in these ram it doesn't like it. I had a spare DDR2 512mb 1.8v stick and it boots up all the time, I swap it for these D9s and it wont boot, I go to my BIOS set the voltage to 2.1 then I swap the sticks and what happens? It boots up!

Though I'm having troubles trying to revert back to the old bios heh.. I dont have a floppy drive nor a flash drive on me and whenever I try to access DOS mode to change the bios my keyboard doesnt work (G15) lol and ASUS Update gives me that EEPROM Type error crap... This is because I don't have any spare parts with me cause I'm at college and 3 hours away from home lol...
