They only guarantee modules bought in packs of 4, although usually it works with 2 pairs.

If they are faster than then it might be causing problems as well as the signal clarity from the memory is probably borderline, depending on what you have. Also if you have the wrong type of memory designed for a different chipset it can be optimized differently. For too much VccIO, for example. CPU OC has nothing much to do with memory though.

You say you have a factory over-clocked system at 4. Yet you also say you have updated the BIOS. Could you please fill me in.

Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart.

If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.

If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8. For more information about options, see Advanced startup options including safe mode. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of the display.

To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.
