First of all you'll need to address your CPU temp issue. If you disturbed the heatsink while reinstalling your video card you'll need to remove the CPU heatsink, clean off the old thermal compound and reapply a fresh coat of compound (I recommend Arctic Silver 5).

Once that's under control, you need to set your RAM to run at a 1:1 ratio (value ram doesn't OC well and it's harder to a stable OC with 4 sticks of RAM. Running 1:1 will keep your RAM running under it's rated specs), disable EIST and C1, PCI-E @ 100mhz (stock) with no voltage increase on the PCI-E bus, Vcore @ 1.25v

If you think the GPU being plugged inro the motherboard header is part of the cause then try a different header. Did you try plugging it into the header on the video card?
