RAM Problems

Hey guys, a few months ago I brought myself a new pre-overclocked system, which I installed XP SP2 on myself. The specs are.

Abit 1P35 Pro
Quadcore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 3133mhz
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX
500GB Sata HDD
2GB DDR Ram

Basically, all worked well for a month or so then I started to get a BSOD every so often, I reformatted but was still getting the error. I rang the company I brought it from and they suggested it could be my overclocking settings were put in incorrectly, we re-did them and I tried again.. but I was still getting a BSOD.

They said it's more than likely the RAM, so I RMA'd both sticks and they confirmed they were faulty and sent me 2 new sticks. Everything worked well for a month and all was good I thought.. until I got the same BSOD again. I sent the RAM back again and again they sent me 2 new sticks.. (which I'm using now) So I'm on my third set of sticks.

Everything is working fine atm but I am certain it's gonna happen again, sooner or later.

Basically my RAM keeps going faulty after around a month, I have no idea whats causing it, alls I can think of is the overclocking settings were set wrong originally - But I re-did them so it can't be that.. but I also thought it could be the settings themselves, but the company sell hundreds of these systems (my friend has one) and if the original settings they put in were causing ram to go faulty they'd have had hundreds of complaints.

Here is a list of temps/volts just for anyone curious

Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.

Is the RAM compatible with the board?

Well I don't think the company would sell a system which had RAM not compatable with the MOBO.
