Just bought 2x1GB G.Skill ZX PC3200, but I can't get it stable, load optimized defaults doesn't work, so I tried to set I manually;

I used the timings of the stock speed database:
2x1024MB Corsair CMX1024-3500LLPRO (XMS3502v1.2)
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25447&

This kit also uses Infineon CE-6 like mine. And timings are almost the same, tried that one with alot of changes (Voltage(2,2-@2,9V), Tref, Dram Drive Strength, etc)

2x1024MB OCZ PC4000EB (OCZ5002048EBPE-K)
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32158

Not the same timings, but I would aleast expect that 3-3-2-8 timings would work @ 200MHz.

So this is what happends:
One stick
1. Stable - DFI Expert sets everything by itself. - AUTO
2. Stable - User(me) sets everything by himself. - User installed SPD timings.
I tested with 2 different Tref value's just to test if it worked, screen 1 is from stick 1 and screen 2 is from stick 2, both sticks work with the 2 Tref value's.

Two sticks:
1. Unstable - DFI Expert sets everything by itself. - AUTO - corrupted Windows 2 times
2. Unstable - User sets everything by himself. - User installed SPD timings.

Can anybody give me some tips to get it stable?

Motherboard/CPU is:
AMD Opteron 165 0536 MPMW
DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR Expert
I started with the 704BT2 bios but now I am using this bios:
Date Code 2005/12/07
File NF4EDC07.exe

did you test each stick by itself? one could be bad, and when you add the 2nd stick it fails.
