Here are the facts:
1. 99% will ramdomly freeze with kingston memory.
2. Update Bios will not help at all
3. No official feedback from ASUS yet!! (it's been almost a year now, ASUS!!)
We, here we are, helpless from the so called "customer support"!
Hey, look at the forum here, it's basically customer helping customer forum!!
Geee thanx Asus, for hiring us as ur customer service representative.

I can't agree more with you. However, regarding this kingston memory problem, I went down to get those rams changed and now it is working perfectly fine at auto clock speed, voltage and timings.

Agree. But for stabilizing the machine, have you tried the DRAM setting at 1111MHz? (I am assuming the memory you have is probably 1333MHz...
good luck

I have been having problems with this board and G.Skill DDR3 1333 2x2Gb
(4Gb total) RAM. With both RAM modules inserted I was getting continual
reboots, mainly during the boot procedure. Running a bootable Memtest
resulted in the test locking up the computer. Using either module on
its own was fine, regardless of which slot I put it in.
I have tried all of the suggestions made on this forum and nothing
worked. Even AK's suggestion of winding back the frequency. I must say
that although its great to get a board working, if it requires winding
down the native frequency of the RAM then what's the point? I might as
well have bought a lesser speed RAM in the first place.
Solution: I contacted G.Skill technical support who advised me
to set the RAM voltage to 1.7 in the BIOS. I did this and also set the
frequency at 1333 and timings at the specified number of cycles. Other
than that I set everything else back to auto. I should point out that
on the box the RAM came in it states the voltage is between 1.5 and 1.6.
After changing this setting i ran a bootable Memtest which ran for
about 3 hours and completed cycles without error. I then booted into
Windows 7 and ran Prime 95 for a few hours and still no errors and no
reboots. The system seems to have stabilised and if I don't get back on
this forum and complain further in the next few weeks you can assume it
is now humming away perfectly.
I hope upping the RAM voltage helps others with this issue.
Cheers,
Rev

What is your G.Skill memory model? I know it's ddr3 1333, but what specific model name? They have quiet few 1333 ones. I am having similar issue, that's why I ask.
Thanks in advance.
