Corsair XMS2 Ram problem with M2N-SLI

So after I built this thing I realized I was having some occasional stability problems with BSOD's and lockups. I ran Prime95 and saw that my computer would fail in an hour or so every single time. In order to get this ram to work I had to manually set the Dram voltage to 2.1 volts. I tried rolling the timing back to 5-5-5-18-2t from 4-4-4-12-2t. It still is not stable either way.

I tried running the ram at DDR2-666 speeds and it still failed.

I tried running the ram ad DDR2-533 speeds and it works perfectly. It can run any test for any period of time and never fail.

How might I go about fixing this?

Motherboard: Asus M2n-SLI Deluxe
Memory: 2 x 1024 Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 Cas 4
Processor: Amd Athlon64 X2 4200+ AM2

I would also like to know, since I might go with that motherboard and Corsair XMS2 1GB (512x2) DDR2-675.

I would assume maybe a BIOS update? Or maybe not...
