F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL BSODs

[OatmealMu]

I picked up a second set of sticks from Newegg a few months back. I've been getting intermittent BSODs -- about once a week. I'd figured my Audigy 1 card and its' unofficial drivers were the culprit. Today I received multiple MEMORY_MANAGEMENT errors. With that error in mind, I got to testing. First, I tried Windows 7s' built in memory tester. No errors. Then, I busted out Memtest86+. Ah-ha. I eventually narrowed down the errors to one of the newest sticks. I then tested the RAM on each memory slot -- Memtest reported errors on every one.

Timings are 9-9-9-24. I'm running the two older sticks now. No problems so far.

If errors on one of the new sticks might check with your e/re-tailer about an exchange..another possible would be to try slightly higher DRAM voltage, say about .05 higher

I was unable to fix the problem, so I RMAed the faulty stick. I received the replacement today and immediately tried it out...

*BEEEEEEEP*
*Pause*
*BEEEEEEEP*

After the two long beeps, an error regarding overclocking appeared on the post screen. I took out the new stick, swapped it with its' partner, and tried again. The same problem occurred, so I took out the new stick and the older, working one. The computer started up without problem. After looking over the new memory stick, something caught my eye. On the label, just above UPC code, is a series of letters and numbers. The new stick reads:

XMP CL9-9-9-24 1.5v

I'm not sure what "XMP" refers to, but rest refers to the timings and voltage the RAM should be run at. A quick look at the other stick reveals a slight difference. It reads as such:

CL9-9-9-24 1.5v

The other information on the labels appears to be indentical. I'm at a loss, and this slight disparity is the only thing that caught my attention. What do I do now?

UPDATE

I was able to get into Windows 7 by reverting to the default BIOS settings. I took the advice of someone on a different forum and scoped out the memory in CPU-Z. Note that Slot #4 has the XMP memory stick in it:

What motherboard and CPU are we working with here? DId you try manual settings? Manually set DRAM Frequency, timings, and voltage.

GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3

CPU
Athlon II X4 635

The original timings were manually set. The BIOS settings were nearly identical to Method #2 from this thread. The lowest I could manually set the CPU-NB frequency was 5X, so I left it on auto, which put it at 2000. On another forum, it was suggested I manually set the timings to 9-9-9-25-2T and the voltage at 1.5, which is close to what I had before (9-9-9-24-2T).

What your CPU revision ? RB-C2 or RB-C3
C2 is not easy to run the 1600

[OatmealMu]

BL-C2, as a matter of fact. For a few months, I was able to run four 2GB sticks at 1600. Then the blue screens came, and here I am today...

[NemesisChild]

Running a Revision C2 Phenom or Athlon with all dimms populated@ 1600 is nearly impossible.
It will require major tweaking and that's no guarentee that it will work.
Try increasing your DRAM voltage to 1.55 and your CPU/NB voltage a notch or two.
You may also have to tweak your HT and NB voltages as well.

[GSKILL TECH]

Did you test one at a time with proper settings to see if one may be bad causing a problem now?

You can also attempt DDR3-1333 8-8-8-24 1.50V to put the CPU out of question.
