Possible reasons for your problems:
1) Vdimm not high enough for error free operation, at the speed you've
selected for the memory bus. 1/8V is nominal. Products usually mention
a max or suggested value, like 2.0V or 2.1V etc.
2) Accidental overclock of memory, while overclocking processor. Use CPUZ
from cpuid.com to verify that the settings are correct.
3) Overheating Northbridge. Overheating processor. Use Speedfan or the
manufacturer provided hardware monitor utility, to check what sensors
have been provided. Stick a finger on your heatsinks (including chipset).
If you burn yourself on anything, fix it.
You can also check the Newegg reviews for the product you bought, to get
some idea what results other people are getting with the product in
question.
For further help, state motherboard brand/model number, CPU type, memory
brand and model number, CPU and memory speeds (3.0GHz core, FSB1333,
DDR2-800 running at DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 etc). You should be able to get some
of that info from CPUZ.

Will take until monday evening for me to post those results. As far as
temp, everything is monitored and watched, cooling fans on everything
with built in temp monitors, watch those carefully, nothing out of the
normals.This is a link to my system, but i didnt get memory, will post
link for memory under:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...=P450-9102%20N
RAM:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=2882686
This RAM is rated at 2.1V

The second memory is more or less the same. 1.9-2.1V 4-4-4-15 OCZ2P800R22GK
The BIOS should use 4-4-4-15. And if there was a command rate setting, it would
make sense if it was set to 2T.

Perhaps there is a BIOS update on the XFX site. (They want a serial number, to
look at their downloads.)

As far as I know, some of the Nvidia boards are "Nvidia reference", meaning that
up to four motherboard manufacturers are shipping the same actual board, but
with a different heatsink (with their own brand on it). It is possible that
Nvidia is the one providing BIOS updates. That might also mean, that the behavior
noted for an EVGA version, would be the same as an XFX version.
