just because it's not on the qualified vendor list for compatible ram doesn't mean that it won't work, i don't think that's my problem

try turning off AMD External Event service I just helped someone else with a problem like yours and this appeared to fix the issue
did you check for proper ram voltage sometimes the board will not set the proper ram voltage i have seen it undervolt the ram and cause this issue as well
something else that you might consider is the SATA cables I went through a stint awhile back with Biostar they used to send red SATA cables with their boards then all of the sudden they started coming with the yellowish cables that were not only different in color but the material at least of the outside sheathing was different less flexible..... anyway I got about 4 or 5 boards over the course of a couple months that started having issue like yours and as a diagnostic step when I am faced with weird stuff like that I always replace the data cables learned that a long time ago anyway that's what the problem was it's easy to overlook cables and SATA cables don't like being bent into hard angles leave them as straight as possible or get ones with angles plugs
ok so it finally installed windows 7 and everything is working fine only when i change the timings on the ram to 8-8-7-20 like it's supposed to be but i can't get it to work above 1333 and the ram is supposed to be 1800. I also manually set the voltage to 1.86, the ram says 1.85-1.95 so maybe that's what did it. If it freezes again i'll post again but it seems to be working.
Ok if you up the voltage a little more you may get it to run at full speed
nope i tried upping the voltage and upping the speed, but it only seems to work at 1333
Thanks for the help
are you overclocking?
I usually overvolt the ram your max is 1.95 I would set it at 2.0
