Mismatched pairs of memory modules do not work well or at all with this board. Try running with "Load BIOS Setup Defaults" in the "Advanced Chipset Features" in the BIOS Setup Menu. Your current memory timings appear to be too aggressive for the 333MHz memory stick but are just fine for the 266MHz stick.
