Hi, 
Memory errors = bad Ram...Go to OCZ and ask for a RMA, explain your problem, they will give you a solution, if it does not work they will give you a RMA. Send it today they will respond tomorrow they are fast! OCZ forum is also great.

Hi,
Timing is not easy you would need to test a alot of different combinations in order to find the correct one...OCZ thru their experience already have the timing you need. Your Mobo manual will tell you how to clear a CMOS & change the timing, have you been in the BIOS & did you up date your BIOS for your new build ?
You need to give this forum more info about your computer like this:
OS: Windows XP Pro 32
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
MoBo: GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P AM3 DDR3 AMD 790X ATX
Mem: OCZ OCZ3P13334GK 4gb kit (2gb x 2) 1333mhz 7-7-7-20 240-pin DDR3
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.2
VC: MSI N9800GT-T2D512-OC V2 GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
HD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB OEM
DVDROM: Sony Optiarc Black 24X Rewritable Drive - OEM
CASE: Antec 900
