Oh dear, sounds like you have a similar issue to me with my Trident 2000C9's/Corsair 2000C8's. Seems there is really weird CPU/Ram interactions with this board.
My tridents drop a channel and/or cold boot with my 920 and W3570, and my Corsair 2000C8 kit just has cold boot issues with both my CPU's, but with the 950 at the shop I took it back to get tested at, the kits are both fine. Details of my issue are scattered over the last few pages here. Essentially with either kit, if I just run 2 sticks, I have no issues at all. It's just when I drop in that 3rd stick that all hell breaks loose.
There are reports of people not being able to POST with a certain ram kit and a bloomfield, then they changed to a Gulftown and bam, POST and stable.
May be worth trying different BIOS if you haven't already. Check you CPU socket pincs, CPU pads and ram slots and ram contacts too just to be sure it's not something simple.
If you figure it out let me know!
