However, whenever I set my RAM to 1066 I BSOD at random times. It works fine at 800 with 5-5-5-15 timing.

Thanks for the help!

Your links are no good... you copied the abbreviated links: "/showthrea...highlight=us2h"

Are you running at 2T Command Rate?

There, updated links, thanks for the catch Duckie.

This should give you more of an idea of what I was running at.

I didn't sees a voltage on there. Did you set it to the proper voltage before your tried adjusting the frequency to 1066?

And have you tried looser timings like 6-6-6-18 or 7-7-7-20? Just to see if it'll boot up.

It boots up fine. I just BSOD at random timings around 1 hour. I haven't loosened my timings though. I'm thinking maybe I should increase DDR2 volts.

I had to run the ram @ 2.1v and use the closest 2 ram slots to the cpu in order to run @ 1066mhz on my Gigabyte 780G. Anything else and it would just bsod randomly.

Koolade, have you run memtest with your RAM @ 1066 with the 5-5-5-15 timings? Could be a bad/dying stick. Be sure to run AT LEAST 2 full passes. Some people will say to only run tests 5 & 8, but I've found that a lot of the time it'll pass those tests just fine but will fail others.

My sticks are already in slots 1 and 2, and I haven't gotten around to trying MemTest. It would BSOD during TF2, so that was pretty much my stress test tool. It's not dead sticks though, I bought them new, and many people with my mobo, and same sticks RMA with same results.

That is not a good enough stress tester. Also, buying them new has nothing to do with anything. I had a Corsair XMS stick go bad after 20 days, and I also bought those new. Coincidentally, I had just bought an identical set of RAM used and haven't had any problems with them.

You need to run memtest, if you do not and your memory keeps erring, it will corrupt your OS.
