Hi
I have an asus Maximus Formula motherboard that originally had 2x2GB of TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX in two of my slots and a Win 7 64bit OS. I recently purchased another 2x2GB of TWIN2X4096-6400C5C G. I changed the timings to match the C5 ram (5-5-5-18. When i left it on auto it set them to 5-5-5-15. I'm not sure if this makes any difference) and set my CPU speed from my previous overclocked setting of 3.2Ghz to 3Ghz (which is still overclocked from 2.66Ghz. I have the Core 2 quad Q9450) to get the computer to boot. So it gets into windows, but then as soon as i do anything processor intensive my screen goes black and flickers and i get an error that says my open GL driver has crashed and was recovered. The program that i was using (premiere or after effects) then freezes and i have to end the process. I seem to get this graphics crash over and over again when ever i do anything that uses processor power. Even choosing a font in Microsoft Word.
I read forums about this error and found no help about it so i decided to read forums about putting more ram in my mother board and i came across this one:

So i changed the ram frequency to 667Mhz and set my CPU speed back to standard 2.66Ghz. When i upped the NB Voltage just a little bit it got unstable, so i set it back to normal. Windows seemed to be running fine for a while while i was editing even though i wasn't happy about my new average ram and cpu speeds, but then it crashed again with the same error after a while. So it seems that it still crashes, but not as often.
Using either set of ram by itself just in 2 slots does not crash the computer at all.
Is there any way that i can get all my 8Gb of ram running fine without my computer dying?

Tried it twice, had to sell them twice. No matter how much tweeking some motherboards just won't take it.
