Alright, I am having some issues here; I recently built a new system with this MOBO:

Now, with that I bought this ram:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227199
The first time around, one of my sticks of ram was bad... I sent it back with an RMA request to newegg. After waiting two weeks and getting the ram back again I tried it yet again... it worked at first, then I started having all sorts of problems - blue screens, random system freeze ups... I then figured that the MOBO didn't like having 4 gigs with windows XP 32 bit OS... so I took one stick out and tried that. It started working... yet after about 30 minutes of stability it started having problems again... freeze ups, blue screens and such. Now, I had some extra DDR2 800 ram as backup from my last problems with the first set of ram and put that in and all problems were instantly solved.
Now, here is my question... does anyone else have this MOBO and have problems with running 4 gigs of ram? Has anyone else who has this MOBO had any problems with OCZ Gold ram? I desperately need help here... It's hard to believe that I received bad ram two times in a row from newegg... haven't had problems like this before.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
