It's kinda hard to guess at what your problem is without knowing what CPU step, cooling, motherboard, RAM, etc you're using. Pouring more voltage into the chip seldom solves this sort of problem though.

yeah, the memory divider setting is inside the bios, try to find this in bios --> DRAM Ratio if the value is by cpu, change it to 5:4 :)
