What DRAM are you running, (Model #, is it a single 1x8GB, 2x4GB, 4x2GB, what freq)...Just with it being AMD would suggest trying raising the DRAM Voltage + 0.05 so if 1.5 sticks, then 1.55 and maybe raise the CPU/NB voltage + 0.04 from current

DRAM Model no is-KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX
and its 2x4GB module
tried at both 1600 and 1333 but no luck,haven't tried raising voltage though.
