Trouble w/my new hardware :(

So i just got my opt 170 in the mail, I plugged it in w/my arctic cooler freezer, everythings okay, till 30-40mins in (wow) I get CTD's / lock ups with a blue screen (Im unable to read the screen, dissapears), this has never hpnd when i had the a64 3700. Any ideas? (Specs below)

 

Might have found the culprit. Automatic timings default all DDR333 if you have 4 occupied Dimms AND they are DDR400 (4x512 or 4x 256) because of "stability issues" inherent of NF4 boards. So you manually have to set it to DDR400, but for high performance ram you need to have the correct timings too. Personally the board's manual timing was giving me 2.5/3/5/5 when my ram is 2/2/2/5 causing even more instability after a few minutes of use.

Also if your considering buying this board, be warned that if you have BIOS 1009, ANY DDR400 ram will be locked into DDR333, even if you manually set it yourself(it will reset itself in windows) the problem comes when the ram is loaded at 100% capacity (with 4 dimms), it will cause corruption on whatever is loaded onto the fourth dimm because of hardware "bugs". So if your xfering large files be sure that they do not exeed the maximum amount or ram you have on your Nf4 board w/4 full dimms. Very crappy / dissapointing news. First it was Nvidia with its 6800 series and no hardware video rendering, now nvidia nforce 4boards

k well, that didn't work. still unstable.
