Solution
You can try, of course, all other options before RMA-ing, but a failure under load points more likely to a hardware issue, and since you've tried different RAMs...
I'd say that it's the CPU. Try clearing the CMOS (unplug the power cord and use the CLR CMOS jumper) and install single RAM stick. Check each slot. If still the same, I would RMA the CPU. It might be also a mothrboard issue, but I think that the CPU is more likely.
