THE RAM STABILITY ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED..
Update:
Well.. Just spoke to crucial. They now seem to think my motherboard does not support this memory.......Even though they reccomended it in the first place.. im stuck running it at 800 mhz .
Sheesh... They did offer to exchange it though.. so its good news!
My next question is, is it worth exchanging it for a different brand of 800 mhz ram or shall i just continue to run this ram at 800 mhz instead?
It cost 125 pounds so thats my budget. i need 8 gigs.
thanks for all the help

In my bios there are these options for memory timing.
200mhz (DDRII 400)
266mhz (DDRII 533)
333mhz (DDRII 667)
400mhz (DDRII 800)
533 mhz(DDRII1066)
Auto
I currently have it set to auto but it sets itself to these timings.
266mhz (DDRII 533)
Im presuming i shoud have it set to the "533 mhz (DDRII1066)" option insted? but i have severe stability issues when i do this. The ram is set in dual channel mode and unganged.
Do i have this set wrong?? im really not too sure what im doing here
