Did you multiplier overclock only or did you move the ref.clock up any? If you moved the ref. clock up it could very well be your memory causing the instability. If you used multiplier overclocking, the memory should be at the speeds you set it at. Have you tried setting the cpu back to stock and running those tests to see if it is in fact your memory. Many people have had some trouble getting their RAM up to 1600 on AMD systems, because on AMD systems it is considered an OC, try 1333 and see what happens.

AM3 boards will not take DDR2

Uhhh as far as I know [Gigabyte 790X-UD4P] some do (at least if you have AM3 on AM2+ socket).
And yes, it has to be DDR3. DDR2 & DDR3 aren't compatible electrically. Try raising to above 1.9 volts (say, 1.95); I could only reach stable at my original 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 timings with this much volts. I later realized I was running on a time-bomb when running at 1600 so I downed to 1333 (and eventually upped to 1446 via FSB).
