Current Setup:
Core i7 920 at stock settings
Patriot 1600 8-8-8-24 1.65v 2gb x 3 kit
EVGA Superclocked GTX260
Gigabyte EX58 UD5
PCP&C 750w psu
Problem:
First I installed everything on board, memory at 1, 3, 5 slots (white ones), and find out the system reboots itself frequently that I can't even finish vista installation.
Then, I removed two of the memory sticks, using only one stick at slot 1. Two of the three sticks, while used alone, still give the rebooting problem, no matter which speed, timing, xmp profile. The one stick that doesn't reboot, can only run stable at 1333 or lower, or the system will freeze (no reboot).
I tried running 3DMark vintage, and the cpu ai test give me bsod once, and now it doesn't finish, pops up a window says an invalid parameter is passed. I'm also running memtest, which is 121.3% coverage, 0 errors for now. I'll keep it running.
Please could someone tell me which hardware or bios setting (voltages, etc) is likely to be causing this problem.

so i just read a post of similar issue (with ocz1333 though), who found out it's the memory that is the problem.
I'm just thinking about the odds I get three defective rams in a kit..
