Since about a year now my asus sk8v runs with 2x1G Kingston memory
quite stable. Now we decided to add two additional 2G modules,
but the system seems to become quite unstable :-(
My 64Bit Linux kernel crashed after a few seconds. After some
further attempts to boot, the bios started to emit messages like:
SYSTEM FAILED DUE TO CPU OVER-CLOCKING, although I used all default
settings. Finally the system did not boot at all, not even a bios
came up anymore. After i cleared the NVRAM, it came back again.
But I could not detect any strange settings, and I also reset to
all default settings. The bios version is also quite recent:
1003.008 2005/06/22.
I found some suggestions about a possibly weak PSU, but my PSU
powers 450W, so I can't believe its too weak.
With only 2x1Gb it runs quite stable with both pairs individually.
Both pairs are slightly different:

and the new pair:

Should I try to downgrade some memory timing to get a stable system?
If it runs stable instead I would accept some "underclocking".
I wonder about the DDR voltage. The bios allows 2.6V to 2.8V whereas
the memory module has 2.5V printed on its label. Is this a problem?
any further ideas?
