I think that's the cause of the problem in which the board detect the 2 ram as single channel, and not dual channel, even though I installed it correct according to the manual.
Welcome

What exact RAM do you have, can you check in CPU-Z and post a screenshot of the SPD tab back?
Are they 512MB, 1GB, 2GB or 4GB modules?

First set both modules in the slots next to each other (green+orange). That will be dual channel (manual is wrong).

If it's 1GB or less modules then set the RAM tRFC to 105ns.

Which BIOS are you using? Don't try 1066 RAM with any BIOS before P0E.

When you oc speed/volts, speed affects TDP but voltage affects it by the square. So if using a constant current, you would have to use the formula I posted before to work out your new TDP: Pn = Pt.(vn/vt).(Unē/Utē)

dr_drache: I checked your logs through. You have the famous bugcheck:
Code:
Bug Check 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT bug check has a value of 0x00000101. This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval.
It means your processor has become unresponsive i.e. locked. It's caused either by instability (lack of voltage/heat buildup/bad PSU rails/volts), software incompatibility or software-driver-OS problem. It could be anything but it is looking most like a Vista x64 issue since it references the 64b kernel and kernel modules in the stack just before the problem.
I'm going to get some more symbols and debug it a little more later on. Need to update some files.
