It may be that your CPU is an incipient revision and it "doesn t take dual channel properly" at 1333 Mhz.
I m not sure , but i think i ve heard of issues with Athlon II CPU-s integrated memory controllers, that would not work properly with dual channel RAM at 1333 Mhz.
In this scenario it s also good to know if the sticks you have are single sided or double sided.As using double sided takes 4 banks of the integrated memory controller to work.
It could be a CPU(integrated memory controller) limitation in this case.

You could sell your CPU and get another one if issues arrive at 1333 Mhz if you want more.
I m interested too in how the G Skills perform on the 970A-UD3. :)

Gskill is in at 1333mhz. Corsair ran perfectly at 1066 for four days. We will see.

Another BSOD copying files to a external. This is with the new Gskill ram running at 1333.

Your BSOD code often means that you have insufficient QPI/Vtt voltage so you might want to check that and maybe increase it a touch. It could also be memory or memory controller problems. In your case I would discount the modules themselves.

I would also suggest when testing try not to use external drives as that is adding another place for faults to creap in.

"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", haven't seen 1 of those in a long long time. I see you have an Xfi, is it an installed card? if so remove it.

It could be memory - but error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL has, in tne past, for me, been a piece of installed hardware......... especialy sound cards & modems ( a modem today is as rare as carburetors on a car )

Hi dirtydan,  ;)

Normaly in windows use a Device Manager...

But he exist others softwares...

Please completely remove older version driver first with :
Drivers sweeper : http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Version-3-2-0/

and soft for  Windows Registry :
Ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
jv16 PowerTools 2011 http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/jv16pt_setup_hb.exe
Wise Registry Cleaner Pro http://www.wisecleaner.com/soft/WRCPro.exe

Check on Hard Drive if you have a trace of deleted, removed software in folder.
Use Windows search function for find it.

and restart the computer.

So Remove all drivers about your sound card.

When the cleaning of computer is finish and ok, you have a possibility to Enabled Onboard sound in Bios.

================
But i am not sure if my infos are a solution for your problem. So I am glad to give this infos... (maybe util next time for you)...

I said this, because I find this infos (again  :P) :

This issue occurs because Power Manager opens an Advanced local procedure call (ALPC) port. However, Power Manager closes another port instead of closing the ALPC port. Every time that a power request is made, a memory leak occurs. When the leaked memory usage accumulates to a certain level, the computer crashes.

So maybe wait a new help from this forum before try this solution... Otherwise make more search on Internet about your problem...

I'm getting close to solving this, 1066mhz stable, 1333mhz not stable. Its clearly a memory setting issue I believe. To start pulling hardware might be counter productive.

Most probable i am right and your X3 is not able to run RAM at 1333 Mhz.
Athlon 2 at it s start up was with one RAM speed notch backwards compared to Phenom 2.
The limitation is in the CPU as the IMC-integrated memory controller is in it.
I would try to see what it does if you install all the sticks you have now ,G-Skill and Corsair.
Swap the CPU out and the enigma will solve most probable.
The motherboard by itself is ok as i see mine being ok stability wise.
Upgrade the CPU  :)

My DRAM voltage was at 1.510 for some reason, I set it to 1.500, uninstalled Avira last Tuesday and haven't seen a blue screen or crash since, and am running at 1333mhz.

Out of curiosity Vezina what are your ram settings in the bios with your gigabyte board, our systems are very similar.
