Okay, I've had enough messing around on my own and I'm in dire need of some professional help. At this point I would be overjoyed with a stable system. The system freezes almost always when opening a new window/tab in Firefox as well as less notable programs. Sometimes it recovers after a wall of static color blocks that flash on the screen proceeded by windows saying something like my AMD graphics drivers stopped responding. Other times I have to just use the reset button.
I have tried every combination of settings I can figure in the bios for setting the ram timings/voltages according to the main sticky as well as other posts. Currently I am running everything at Auto except DRAM frequency is 1333Mhz, DRAM Voltage is 1.5 and the timings are 8-8-8-24
I have already RMA'd the motherboard hoping that would fix it and yet the exact same problem persists. I am also using the most current firmware (2001).
I have tested each stick individually (in the new MB) with memtest86+ v4.20 in their respective slots (dual channel mode DIMM_A2 & DIMM_B2). One stick was tested for 4.5hrs and the other for 8.5hrs, neither showed any errors. However, whenever either of the sticks are inserted individually in DIMM_B1 or B2 they show that they are running at DDR400. Nothing in the mobo manual mentions this....
Running just one stick in DIMM A2 the system still locks up as before.
System Specs (all new):
ASUS M4A87TD EVO
AMD 1090T X6
8 Gigs G.Skill F3-12800CL9-4GBRL0
XFX Radeon HD 6850
3 SATA HDD
1 IDE HDD
1 IDE DVD-Rom
Seasonic X-650
HELP!
