KT_7RAID and DIMM slot problem?

[Link]

I've already had 2 sticks of 128MB DIMM, and yesterday I put another one to the last DIMM slot#3 left on KT-7RAID. That's when problem started to happen.
Just randomly, while browsing the net, they system rebooted by itself when I clicked on a button. Since yesterday, I've had this random reboot 3 times, and finally on the latest one I got BSOD. I did a few power on/off but still the BSOD. Only when I removed a memory module from the slot#3, the system booted normal, and writing this right now.

Does anyone have the similar experience with KT-7RAID?

I know there were problems like this one, occupying all DIMM slot is hazardous to the system, on previous Abit mobo. Is this the same case with KT-7RAID?

Installing more DIMMs decreases the overall stability and speed of the memory subsystem.

Basically, if the memory is overclocked *AT ALL* installing 3 DIMMs may decrease the maximum speed you use.

This is why many DIMMS rated at CAS3 can run CAS2 when they are running alone but when there are three installed they cannot.

Simple fact of MOSFETs. Increased capacatitive load means increased switching time and decreased maximum frequency.

I had all three of my slots full of 128MB PC100 generic ram (@ CAS2) before I switched over to my first stick of 256MB PC133. I had no problems with the PC100 sticks. There's an option in your bios for Memory drive or something (I'm at work can't look at my momboard), it's in the general area of the memory controls, make sure that's at HI. Other than that, try turning the other memory parameters down a bit and see if it stablizes. Then experiment, pushing a system to it's designed maximum takes some give and take.
