New computer not running stable

[Messiah62]

I just built a computer with the following specs:

MSI P35 Neo2-FR
2gb OCZ gold memory
Core2 Duo E4500
ATI HD 3850.

It took me forever to get xp to install, and i had vista on it for about an hour cause it would actually install but then it crashed to much so i tried install xp again, I am now on xp SP2 and it is still crashing randomly. No blue screen or anything it just reboots, and sometimes if i am playing a game it will lock up with an anoying screech sound and i have to hard reboot it. I have updated my bios to 1.6 and my video drivers are up to date.

Can anyone help me?

What voltage is your memory supposed to run at, and how much voltage are you supplying the RAM in BIOS?

default i never mess with voltage stuff havent read much about it. I am using the default bios settings. I have a 600w psu

That is your problem the OCZs gold require at least 2.00 or 2.10 for it to run at its rated specs. If you wanted to run at defaults then buy value ram e.g Kingston or Crucial Rendition

ok so then i should turn my memory voltages to 2 or 2.1? I have never messed with any voltages. Where memory voltage be under.
