Hi all, I've posted a very little here about my Maximus Formula woes and it turns out it may not be the Maximus at all.

3 Video Cards and 2 Maximus Formulas have all had the same problem, so that narrowed it down the RAM and the power supply. I took out one of my 2GB G.Skill pc2-8000 sticks and viola, the system is stable again. So, it appears it was a RAM issue all along.

I see that many here on the forums are running the new G.Skill 4GB 2x2 kit without issues. What's the best test to see if this Ram is really bad? Am I simply missing some setting in the BIOS that will fix this problem without an RMA? Am I better off with another brand? The ASUS QVL list is pretty restrictive...and pretty expensive. I'd hoped to use 2x2048 so that I can expand in the future.

Thanks for the assistance.
