I just built a new system with the following compontents
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 9450
Mobo: XFX nForce 780i SLI Motherboard
RAM: 4 GB Corsair Dominator RAM (DDR2) (2X2GB sticks)
Video Card: EVGA nVidia 9800 GTX
Power Supply: PC Power and Cooling 750W power supply
I know the issue is the memory. When I put in one of the 2GB sticks, it works fine. When I put in to, Windows just goes to BSOD and I crash.

My RAM is faster than what the mobo supports, but I should be able to fix that my adjusting the FSB.
I read this comment on Newegg reviews of the product.
So its definitely a memory issue. I've updated my bios, installed all my drivers, and its still not working. It looks like I need to set my RAM's FSB lower-I tried setting it to 1066 mhz linked but that was a no go. Any ideas? Please help me!

I got this board because it was rated for DDR2-1200 Mhz. However it states nowhere that if you have 4 sticks then you cannot run it at 1200 Mhz. I bought 4x1GB for 4GB total of the Patriot 9600 DDR2 to run it at 1200Mhz but that is no go. I can only run it at 1066Mhz but at the same time, I was able to tighten the timings on the ram to 5-4-4-6-16, instead of the 5-5-5-12-32 that it was suggested to run. So the memory is not as fast but it operates more quickly when tasked. Guess that is a toss up.
