If you're not having any problems at stock then the problem is with your oc/timings/temps/voltages/strap.

not really, it could easily be the board given that asus send refurb boards for rma, or the ram itself could just not be very good overclocking.

set the strap down low so the ram runs at like 800mhz and then start raising the fsb.

this will determine if the ram is the problem or not. given that yes you do have the voltages setup properly.

you shouldnt need 1.6v on the NB until you get over 470mhz FSB on a Quad.

400-450 only needs stock voltage to 1.45v (for 450mhz) on a dual core you really dont need that much until maybe 500mhz fsb.

i agree with the nb voltages. it just wont play nice tho. even at 1:1 once its past 400mhz fsb
