What happens when you drop the clock rate for the processor,
from 200MHz to 180MHz. Does the stability improve ?

The Nforce2 is picky about RAM, and the issue tends to show up
when you run a processor that uses a 200Mhz clock (FSB400).

Here is a summary of your options:

The nforcershq.com web site has plenty of user experiences
to read about, and that is a good place to do some searches
about RAM on the A7N8X.

Good luck,
