Ram issues with DV7-3190eo

Question

I have problems with ram on my dv7-3190eo, wanted to upgrade and bought 8 gb (2 x 4gb) PC3-10600, CL9, 204pin SODIMM,1333 Mhz, ram blocks from Kingston. But they make the laptop stalling and show error at startup. Have tried with 1 ram block only to with same error! (running win 7 ultimate)
The ones in my machine now is 4 gb (2 x 2gb) PC3-10700, CL7, 204pin SODIMM, 1066 Mhz, ram blocks from Jmicron.
What i wonder is, do i have to to go down to the PC3-8500 ram to match the CL7 and Mhz?
