The System has experienced boot failures because of overclocking

Hello,

Recently picked myself up a set of these:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS

My issue is that when I boot up the computer I get this message that is in the title of this thread. I load up CPU-Z and it says my DRAM frequency is running at 669.6 MHz which is 1333 Mhz. In the bios i have the memory set to 1600Mhz but like I said it just won't have it. Is there a solution to this as i'd like to get my RAM up to it's correct speed ?

This is my motherboard if that helps GA-880GM-UD2H

The website says you need the RAM to be seated in memory socket 3 and 4, have you tried this?

Bump, still no idea what's causing this. Can anyone shed some light on this for me ? I'd be really grateful for any assistance.

the if my memory is correct the Phenom 2 cpus only have a 1333mhz bandwidth my 1600mhz xms 3s only pick up as 1333 in bios but picks up 1400 in window
