I have to shut off the computer and restart it where I'll receive the overclock error, press F1 for setup.

If I just change the FSB/HTT by 1mhz, save and restart, it starts up fine. However, next day when I go to start it, if it hangs again, I just change the HTT back by 1mhz, save and restart, and it starts up fine... Well, I threw on a memory divider this time around and for the past 3 days it's been booting up fine. The whole reason I bought this RAM though was to run a 1:1 with the CPU. I'm running 250x10 right now so I'm not quite sure why the RAM is having problems (passes memtest86+ fine, running it at the stock 2.8 volts).
Is it this RAM?

I'm using the same stuff (991483's) if so and it's running at DDR 500 stable. The BIOS settings for this board are confusing to me (and my other 2 boards are DFI's!). I pieced together some of Marios post and others from the net, I'll post how it's setup when I get home. The only issue's I've had with this board were the ACPI non-compliant Blue screen message (which was fixed by turning the parallel port back on in the BIOS) and a reboot loop issue (which was fixed by plugging the PCI-Express power cable in for my vid card, DOH!). So far so good.
