Mem Dump with Upgraded Chipset Drivers

I am using the following memory:

OCZ4001024PDC-K

on an ASUS A8N-E motherboard. I have been having occasional memory dumps while booting-up, but nothing that would disable my machine permanently. I tried to upgrade to the latest chipset drivers, but when I did, the machine would do a memory dump on every boot-up. I contacted ASUS and they suggested I set the CAS Latency in the BIOS and check to make sure the memory was compatible with my motherboard.

According to the OCZ website, the CAS Latency is 2.5-3-3-7; what should my Award BIOS look like:

Max Memclock (MHz):
1T/2T Memory Timing:
CAS# latency (Tcl):
RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd):
Min RAS# active time (Tras):
Row perchange Time (Trp):
Row Cycle Time (Trc):
Row Refresh Cycle Time (Trfc):
Write Recovery Time (Twr):
Read to Write Delay (Trwt):

Also, does anyone know any issues with OCZ memory on the ASUS A8N-E Mobo? Or any other reason this would be happening with the new drivers? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I found out it is supposed to be CAS/Trcd/Trp/Tras. Once I set that up, along with the speed, I was able to install both the IDE and SMBus drivers. I think I'm pretty safe not installing the ethernet drivers.

If anyone has any idea what the other categories mean, that would be helpful.
