I see a C1 error on the motherboard ( DFI LP UT P35 T2R ) and like 2-3 seconds later the pc just shuts down...

I google'd the C1 error what it means and it come up something to do with the memory I got the ( CORSAIR Dominator 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) ). I try to remove one of the sticks and did not work... cleared the CMOS by:
1. Power-off the system and unpluging the power cord.
2. Set the pin and waited few seconds place it back...
3. Plugged the power cord back and power on the system...
Try'd again no luck... I try to switch the one ram stick to the 2nd, 3rd & 4rd slot and ty'd again... no luck always get the C1 error...
Also removed the power cable and removed the battery for like 20 min and cleared the cmos and try'd again... no luck again!

After I took a little research on the motherboard and I think it only supports 667 / 800 and I got a 1066. Could this be the problem I'm facing right now?

I placed a order yesterday on 2GB of DDR2 800 and 512MB of DDR2 667 ram sticks to test and see if that works.

By the way this is what I did so far.. placed the CPU (Q6600) on the motherboard, placed the motherboard in the case, some thermal paste, install'd the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler. Install'd the Power Supply, install'd the Ram (CORSAIR Dominator 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)) and video card after that... Next was the CD-ROM and HD... hook'd them all up.

Any help is gladly appreciated!
Thanks guys!
I just got the new memory in, I first try'd the 512MB of DDR2 667 ram and I still got the C1 error... is there even point of trying the DDR2 800? I don't feel like opening it if I'm just going to get the same result... any idea what I should do now? I'm totally out of ideas.... Just wasted over 3g and no pc...
