Which frequency ram is suitable for my system? please suggest...

My system specs are -
Processor - AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-78lmt-usb3 rev5.0
Ram - Zion 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (Currently installed)
GPU - Nvidia Gainward Geforce GT610 2GB
PSU - Foxin 800watt

I just installed Corsair 8gb DDR3 1600Mhz ram instead of old 4gb 1333mhz ram. but the problem is PC automatically shuts down due to some heavy work or multitasking time like video rendering or Photo editing which requires long time... some time it shuts down instantly due to normal work. I was checked my Mobo specs. & they said it supports upto 1333Mhz+ ram , & what does it mean? I'm totally confused...
This Mobo has dual channel memory. Should i use the 8gb 1600mhz ram directly in single slot or in dual channel 2x4gb 1600/1333mhz?? Please help me to sort this out.... & tell me which freqency is suitable for this system??

After reading the specs, it looks like the motherboard will only support the 1600 RAM after an overclock from the BIOS. If you just plug it in, it will only run it at the motherboard's predetermined frequency, which is either 1066 or 1333. The motherboard appears to be able to OC the RAM, if it suggest that 1600MHz frequency is achievable through OC. It may be crashing because the RAM is underclocking itself, and due to the underclock is not performing as intended.

Ahh. It's also useful for catching the right answer, as you're usually correct.

I used the 8gb 1600mhz ram by itself. But my PC automatically shuts down due to some heavy work or multitasking time like video rendering or Photo editing which requires long time... some time it shuts down instantly due to normal work.
