Reformat or 1st build ?, if former obv driver related if ok before, if later its someone like heat or volts or even driver related.

Check what voltage your DIMM's are rated at/requires at minimum, and whether your motherboard is in fact feeding them enough. If not, raise the voltage marginally in the BIOS to the rated requirement. I've recently seen several machines where the BIOS defaults defaulted to too low voltage for the RAM to run stably. (See for example http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17766236) Also, whats your CPU temps like? And voltage? And clocks?

YOu might be right. On the website it says from 1.8 to 2.3v. On the sticker of my modules it says 2.1. It was 1.8 on the Bios and I have changed it to 1.9. What do you reckon? Do you think 2.1 is safe? :)
 
Well, it's been running for one hour full load with Prime95 and no problems. Before it used to reset after 5-10 min so this might be it!!!

Thanks a lot.
 
Thanks for the tip.

Got one of the new G0 variants so I might try to overclock it a bit later.

Was doing 48c on Full load at stock.
