Forgive me, but is that the Xeon Equivalent to the E8400? IF you are running the 9x multiplyer on the cpu (3.9ghz) there is a good chance you need more Vcore. I would set it to around 1.4v in the BIOS (don't worry, you will probably be able to back it off some later), also, you are pretty close to 1800mhz on your ram, and if you are at PL7 and have the clock twister set to AUTO, you will most likely need more NB voltage as well. I personally would set it to 1.6v for testing. If this stablilzes your system, you will be able to slowly drop your CPU Vcore untill you see instablity again. When I say slowly, I mean, first be sure that your system passes Memtest86, prime95, and maybe even OCCT for several hours. IF it does, then you can begin to drop those voltages, one at a time untill you see errors. Then go back uo 2 clicks for Vcore, and perhapse one on NB voltage. You will also need to test NB stability with some stressful 3D games,as a heavily loaded Video card adds to the stress on the NB. I personally like to use Crysis, since it stresses the CPU and Ram more than most games do.
Just make sure that once you believe you found stable settings, go back and start dropping those voltages, one at a time, so you know which one is reponsible for any changes in stability. You may end up need =ing alot more voltage than you are using right now, or maybe just a little, but it is easier to start high and work down. The voltages that I mentioned should be very safe for testing, and depending on your luck with your particular CPU and Board you may need even more. Just watch your temps while testing.
