I have had this memory and motherboard for about a year and a half. When I first installed the RAM the motherboard did not detect it as 1600 but instead set it to 1066. I changed it to 1600 manually. It has not been stable for since I built the computer. I get random restarts both while using the computer but also when it is just sitting idle.
Finally a friend of mine asked me if I had update to the latest BIOS (I had) and if I had changed any of the memory settings. He said try it at a slower speed and see what happens.
I changed the RAM speed setting back to auto (1066) and it is stable. I then decided to try to setting the RAM to 1333 and it has remained stable at this speed as well. I would like to be able to set the RAM to the speed that I purchased it for. Let me know what information is needed and I will provide it.
