Strange problem started occuring with this memory. I had it for about 6 months now. I managed to overclock my processor to 3.3GHz using 417MHz FSB and had memory running on 834MHz. But I changed my GPU and PSU few weeks ago to what you see above and it all went bonkers. When I leave processor overclocked like that I get BIOS error: 1 long beep and 3 shorts, which means memory test failed. Then it will reset itself and boot without problems (most of the time at least). When it boots up I can run all the stress test without any errors. But if I run processor at default speed on 333FSB and set memory to 833MHz it boots straight away with no BIOS errors. Even setting FSB to 350 MHz and Memory to 700MHz gives me BIOS errors.

So why it worked with old card and PSU? Any ideas?
