evening guys and girls.

my new build is giving my some grief. basically i'm getting a blue screen of death, pain and frustration 75% of the time during startup or randomly during operation. games and applications like firefox crash and windows explorer crash constantly. i've not been using pc for a few years as i used mac for most of my computer needs and i am just starting to get back into it all.

Any help and advice is much appreciated! so heres the details.

Build:
asus p7p55d-e mobo with latest bios 1207
intel i3 530 clocked to 4.04GHz (arctic 7 cooler)
corsair dominator cmd4gx3m2a1600c9 DDR3 4GB @ 1536MHz 1.65V 9-9-9-24
corsair 650w HX PSU
gigabyte gtx460 1GB GPU
windows 7 ultimate 64bit

some of the BSOD flashes:

IRQL not-less-or-equal
page-fault-in-non-paged-area
memory-error

so im thinking i have a problem with the ram?
have tried memtest x86 but cannot get it to run as a boot disk.

any ideas?!

It had blue screened before the oc. just removed a stick from B1 and left a stick in A1 and booted ok first of all. downloaded prime 95 64 bit and allowed to run for about 10mins with no problems. performed 3 boot ups, restart and cold start ok. just swapped them over to perform the same test and the same results. everything seems ok. windows boots, firefox and flight simulator x boot and run fine on just one stick?
 
heres one example from a crash screen:

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0X0000001A (0X000000000000888A, 0XFFFFF8A006D9B2F0, OXFFFFF680000FDF9, 0XFFFFFA80028BA5C0).

Will see if i can get the windows version memtest now.

not sure what the 1T, 2T settings are?

(also seems to run prime 95 with both in on safe mode ok)

Have switched the modules around and tried them alone. they work fine in various slots. memtest86 with both sticks produced no errors. voltage is 1.65v as recommended. driver issue?
