The only other thing that could be causing this problem is the ram itself.

if that's the case a newer bios might fix the problem. bios 0903 seems much more stable than 0901 or 0505 did when pushing a higher speed with the ram.

edit: what is the voltage you are setting in the bios for your ram?
if it was the memory, why would there be a huge ripple in the Chipset too? The Other Power Supply is a Apevia, and its really good from what I've used it for.

I remember reading way back from a post on product reviews for maximus se on newegg's site that your PSU would need 30A at 3.3V for this board... Total Watts doesn't necessarily matter. Also I read for improved performance, if you are using 2 sticks of RAM, use the B slots...
Where did you read that? Anyways my 3.3 gives off 25A and the 5V is 30A
